Practicum Project: Practicum Project Report with Poster
Overview
In this course, you will be required to complete a Practicum Project. In this project, you
will integrate evidence-based teaching and learning principles into the creation of a
practical tool or tangible product (e.g., handout based on a specific concept, tool for
professional development, career ladder path, simulation experience, teaching tools or
toolbox that includes a pretest, intervention, post-test) for nurse educators that is
applicable to future use. Your Practicum Project will include the following:
Practicum Project Report (Parts 1 and 2) with bibliography featuring resources on
teach and learning that pertain to, or support, your Practicum Project
Practicum Project Poster (Part 3)
You will find the Practicum Project Report with Poster Grading Rubric specific to this
assignment in the Course Information area.

phone call this week).
Week 3
Part 1: Researching the Literature and Nurse Educator Competencies
Once you have achieved consensus on your project topic, proceed as follows:
Review the scholarly literature and nurse educator competencies that validate and
shed light on your Practicum Project focus. Which professional organizations would
you consult (by viewing information on their websites or speaking with someone
directly) in relation to your topic?
Identify the overarching goal for your Practicum Project. What do you expect to
accomplish, and what is the focus area/population?
Based on your Practicum Project goal, develop two or three objectives that are
specific, measurable, attainable, results-focused, and time-focused. Incorporate
higher-order verbs (i.e., Application level and above) from Bloom’s taxonomy as you
create the objectives. (You may wish to review the Week 1 Learning Resources
related to developing objectives.)
Consider how you can achieve your Practicum Project goal through the development
and fulfillment of objectives.
As you proceed with your Practicum project planning, keep in mind that no more
than 24 hours of your Practicum time should be spent on your Practicum Project.
Note: Your Practicum Project goal and objectives are distinct from the Practicum
professional development objectives you developed in Week 1.
Assignment:
Introduce and explain the practical tool or tangible product (e.g., handout based on a
specific concept, tool for professional development, career ladder path, simulation
experience, teaching tools or toolbox that includes a pretest, intervention, post-test)
that will be the focus of your project and that integrates evidence-based teaching
and learning principles. This includes a brief rationale for your selected focus that
incorporates references from the literature, specialization standards/competencies,
regulatory standards, and/or other sources you have used to validate this project.
Goal statement with two-to-three measurable project objectives. A goal statement
identifies what you expect to accomplish, the focus area, and the population. It
introduces the project and conveys, in broad terms, how you plan to use the

practical tool or tangible product. Project objectives delineate your strategy for
reaching the goal and the steps you will follow to complete the project. You must
include two or three measurable objectives that use Application-level or higher verbs
from Bloom’s Taxonomy.
Using evidence-based literature and professional standards/competencies, justify
your project. Provide evidence-based support related to evidence-based teaching
and learning principles. (Note: The literature should be directed toward justifying the
project.) You must include a review of your specialization’s professional-practice
standards and guidelines related to your project and a minimum of five (5) scholarly
references for this section of the paper.
No Assignment submission required for this week.
Submit your Practicum Project Report by Day 5, Week 11.
Week 4
Part 2: Designing Effective Methodology and Evaluation
To prepare
Consider the models, theories, and concepts you have examined in your program of
study, and think about how they relate to your project. How can this information be
applied to the development of the methodology (how you will accomplish each of the
project objectives) and evaluation (the criteria and evidence used to assess the
project)?
Review information on methodology presented in the Learning Resources, and
conduct additional research to facilitate your analysis for your project. Examine
methods that are relevant to your Practicum Project. Devise your methodology in as
much detail as possible to identify how you could meet each objective.
Review the information on evaluation in this week’s Learning Resources, and
conduct additional research to facilitate your analysis for your project. How could you
evaluate achievement of your Practicum project objectives using evaluation?
Assignment:
The design of the methodology and evaluation of your Practicum Project must include:
An explanation of your project’s methodology in detail. Further explain how this
project addresses the project objectives. Include, as relevant, the who, when, where,
and how of each objective.
An explanation of why this project will be valuable to use based on your project’s
methodology, methods, and theories that are appropriate.

Include at least 3 different and appropriate activities aligned to your objectives that
can be used for your practicum experience. Support your activities using evidencebased research.
A method (formative and/or summative) evaluation that will evaluate your Practicum
Project. Details about how you plan to evaluate achievement of your Practicum
Project objectives. What will the evaluation(s) measure and what information you can
gain from that.
Create a bibliography featuring resources on teaching and learning that pertain
to, or support, your Practicum project. (Note: Your bibliography must be
formatted in APA 7th edition.)
