Issues in the application of self-assessment for the diploma of higher education/registered nurse mental health course.
This paper examines some of the issues in the application of self assessment in nurse and higher education. It argues that if student-centred learning methods are being advocated, that this also gives a clear indication that self-assessment in some form should be introduced into the present assessment procedures. This paper suggests that the process of using self-assessment can be an effective assessment strategy, both formative and summative, and can successfully satisfy both the professional and statutory requirements of nursing and be accepted and used within the academic arena. This paper also suggests that with nurse education and higher education institutions collaborating, there is now an opportunity to develop new methods of assessment including self-assessment.
