title: A model of evaluation exemplified by Swedish nursing education.
abstract: In an historical perspective it can be seen that the target for educational evaluation in Swedish nursing education was changed from that of student to programme evaluation. Since education, however, is an interaction of student prerequisites and educational goal-directed influences, there is a need for a more general evaluation model. This should preferably incorporate both student and programme influences over time at different levels, from classroom to societal level. Such a model is presented here based on data from a Swedish longitudinal twin project (Fischbein, 1979). A discussion of the model is initiated from an example of a recent evaluation study made of nurse education in Sweden.
