create a learning needs assessment to determine learning outcomes for the population and topic identified in the nursing education practicum setting.

The purpose of this assignment is to create a learning needs assessment to determine learning outcomes for the population and topic identified in the nursing education practicum setting.

When a need for education is identified, it involves a gap in knowledge or skills in a specific population. The focus is to develop education to improve the population’s health. The effective nurse educator can use population learning needs to create specific and measurable learning outcomes for a lesson or curriculum. Examples of a population can be staff nurses, specific group of patients, or nursing students.

Part 1: Develop 10-20 open-ended or closed-ended questions for a learning needs assessment related to the identified population and topic. The focus should be a clinical topic specific to the population.

Administer this learning needs assessment in your nursing education practicum setting. Use the data and information you collect to guide the development of your population-focused education plan in Topic 12.

Part 2: To accompany your assessment, write a 250-500-word data collection plan with the following information:

Explanation of data collection techniques (such as the format and how you administered the learning needs assessment to your population).

Description of how you will use the data collected from this population learning needs assessment when developing the population-focused education plan.

Cite one or two peer-reviewed/scholarly resources in your paper.

Submit both parts to the assignment dropbox on one Word document.
