Section A: Formative Assessment Blueprint
Criteria Task
TASK A
A1. Assessment overview (type, purpose,
and expected outcomes of the
assessment)
Type: Online discussion board. A formative assessment will be utilized to evaluate
the learner’s comprehension of current course content. The type of assessment that
will be performed is an online discussion board where learners will answer three
questions regarding their knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of the
community and public health nurse, and the relationships among them.
Purpose. The purpose of this assessment is to evaluate each learner’s working body
of knowledge related to the roles and responsibilities of the community and public
health nurse, in addition to their respective relationship to population-focused care.
Expected Outcome. It is expected that learners will be able to distinguish the roles
and responsibilities of the community and public health nurses and differentiate
between the community and public health nurse within the complex health care
system. It is expected that learners will also be able to interpret and clearly articulate
their findings in a scholarly manner via the discussion board.
A2. Module title (C920 material) Introduction to Community and Public Health Nursing
Course objectives (C920 material) Throughout this module, learners will have the opportunity to:
1. Examine the evolving roles and responsibilities of the community and public
health nurse.
2. Analyze the difference between community health nursing and public health
nursing.
3. Analyze population-based, or population-focused care in community and
public health nursing according to the standards of care and scope of practice
for each.
Student learning outcomes (C920
material)
Upon successful completion of this module, learners will be able to:
1. Distinguish the roles and responsibilities of the community and public health
nurse within the complex health care system and policies.
2. Differentiate between community health nursing and public health nursing.
A2a. Assessment Activity Alignment (i.e.
align your selected assessment activity
with course objective and student
learning outcomes)
Course Objectives 1-3. The formative assessment aligns well with each objective
because formative assessments require learners to recall information to demonstrate
comprehension of the material presented. The formative assessment will encourage a
higher order thinking by the end of the course through the utilization of a discussion
board by first examining the roles and responsibilities of the community and public
health nurse in population-focused care, then analyzing the similarities and
differences between the two. The discussion board encourages critical thinking and
will help learners organize and interpret the information presented, and also
encourage dialogue with their peers to obtain different points of view related to the
topic.
Student Learning Outcomes 1-2. The formative assessment aligns well with each
student learning outcome because formative assessments via an online discussion
board allows learners to demonstrate competency and an understanding of course
material. Learners will recall the information and demonstrate an understanding of it
on the discussion board. Each individual response will depict the roles and
responsibilities of the community and public health nurse and the differentiating
factors between the two.
A3. Cognitive level to be measured by the
formative assessment
Analysis. The cognitive level that will be measured by the formative assessment is
analysis. Learners will demonstrate a competency in the cognitive level of analysis by
interpreting the information provided and organizing the ideas into a useful and
meaningful working body of knowledge by differentiating between the community
and public health nurse roles and responsibilities, then articulating their responses on
the discussion board.
A4. Item Types (i.e. multiple-choice
items, fill in the blanks, etc.)
Constructed Response/Discussion Board. The item type chosen for this formative
assessment is a constructed response via an online discussion board. As previously
discussed, an online discussion board will be used to assist learners in interpreting,
translating, and organizing the information [Show Less]
