Abstract

Developing effective means to evaluate students taking undergraduate nursing research and stimulating interest in a course that is typically viewed by nursing majors as "irrelevant" is challenging and problematic. Traditional examinations and proposal assignments do not inspire undergraduate nursing students to appreciate research. The author outlines the steps taken to design and use poster presentations to evaluate students' progress and offers recommendations for adapting this innovative evaluation tool to clinical content [corrected].

The poster presentation: what value to the teaching and assessment of research in pre- and post-registration nursing courses?

Poster presentations have proved to be a popular method of displaying information at conferences, and are being used increasingly as a teaching method. Innovative strategies for teaching and assessing research need to facilitate students' achievement of research skills required for practice. These are outlined by the Department of Health, and emphasize the development of research literacy. Using the poster presentation as a teaching and assessing strategy on diploma level courses (Project 2000 and ENB 870 introduction to the Understanding and Application of Research) has proved to be valuable in developing vital research awareness skills and in harnessing enthusiasm for research. Students imply a sense of achievement gained through the process of developing the poster and the production of the poster itself. Herein lies the value of the poster presentation, for it allows the development of crucial research literacy skills which can be widely used in professional practice and future professional education.
