Topic 8 |
Nurse Educator Competency 4: Participate in Curriculum Design and Evaluation of Program Outcomes. |
|
| Learner Name: | Date(s): | |
| Complete this section before you begin the week’s nursing education practicum. | Learning Goals: What do you want to accomplish for Competency 4: Participate in Curriculum Design and Evaluation of Program Outcomes?
Be sure your goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (S.M.A.R.T. goals).
Develop 1-2 goals per competency. Some goals should reflect higher cognitive learning levels in Bloom’s taxonomy. |
|
| My goal/s for this competency is/are to:
1. By the end of this practicum week, actively participate in the review and revision of a nursing course curriculum to ensure alignment with institutional goals, accreditation standards, and current evidence-based practice (Lippe et al., 2025). 2. Evaluate program outcomes using collected student performance data and faculty feedback to identify at least two actionable recommendations for curriculum improvement (Jeffries & Slaven-Lee, 2024). |
||
| Resources and Strategies: What type of resources or strategies will you utilize to accomplish your learning goals? Include both human and material resources. | ||
| In order to examine the existing course syllabus, learning goals, and assessment methods, I will work with my preceptor, members of the curriculum committee, and the course faculty. Program outcome data reports, NLN Competencies, and AACN Essentials will all be used as reference resources (Jeffries & Slaven-Lee, 2024). To ascertain the efficacy of the curriculum, methods include examining student assessment data, comparing material with national standards, and assessing course mapping. I will participate in faculty meetings, listen to discussions about curricular changes, and help create learning objectives that consider the skills and trends in nursing today. | ||
| Measurement: How will you know that you have accomplished your learning goal(s)? What criteria will you use to measure this? | ||
| The criteria I will use to measure my goals are: Successful engagement in curriculum evaluation activities, demonstrated by participation in meetings, documented feedback contributions, and the development of recommendations aligned with program objectives. Evidence will include meeting notes, revised learning outcomes, and preceptor validation of my participation and contributions (Lippe et al., 2025). | ||
| Complete this section after you complete the week’s nursing education practicum. | Evaluation: Did you meet your goal? What did you accomplish that you can use as evidence that you met your learning goals? | |
| I met my goals by actively participating in curriculum discussions and reviewing course outcomes for alignment with program objectives and accreditation standards. My examination of student assessments and performance data bolstered recommendations for improving simulation integration and updating evidence-based material. My preceptor confirmed that my input contributed meaningfully to the curriculum review process (Hull, 2024). | ||
| Reflect on Competency 4, analyzing your nursing education practicum experiences: Be sure to connect your experiences directly to the competency. | ||
| Reflection: This competency enhanced my understanding of curriculum design and the continuous improvement process in nursing education. I learned to use outcome data and feedback to evaluate curriculum effectiveness and make data-driven recommendations. The experience strengthened my ability to integrate theory, standards, and practice trends into curriculum design, ensuring program relevance and quality outcomes.
