The article explores the self-evaluation in nursing students in clinical evaluation: the structure and topics in evaluation sessions and the student-teacher relationships. The data were collected by means of non-participant observation: evaluation sessions of 81 (= n) students were observed in hospitals and health centres. The results indicated the rather passive role of nursing students in self-evaluation; teacher-dominated relationships were the most frequent in sessions. In future there is a need for a deeper analysis of the clinical evaluation.
This paper examines the implementation and evaluation of learning contracts in the clinical area with a small group of RGN students who were 18 months into their programme. An action research approach was used with the researcher acting as participant observer. Data collection methods included questionnaire, students self-evaluation, nominal group evaluation and researchers notes. The results indicated that through using learning contracts the tutor can effectively facilitate learning in the clinical area. Data collected indicated that the students did benefit from the experience. An important aspect that was identified is the need for adequate preparation of all those involved. The paper concludes that, although there are limitations, contract learning is a useful and valuable strategy to use in the clinical area providing the tutor with an alternative model for clinical contact.
