A qualitative analysis of examination questions set for students of nursing in Scotland.

Abstract:

:The construction of essay-type questions for inclusion in nursing examination papers is a time consuming task for teachers. In this paper, the findings of the qualitative analysis of the examination systems in basic nursing education in Scotland are discussed, with specific reference to questions set in internal and external formal examinations. The form and type of questions which seemed to create difficulties for students are identified and discussed. Several issues are raised, including coverage of the syllabus content, the science base for nursing, and determining levels of question difficulty. The paper concludes with recommendations concerning the format of assessment, especially if the NBS were to delegate more responsibility to colleges and when the proposals on curriculum reform evisaged in Project 2000, are implemented.
