Measurement in Nursing Education Research

In this brief editorial from Nursing Education Perspectives, two expert nurse educators provide a basic overview of the role of measurement in nursing education. They provide an overview of instrument development and instrument selection, and they describe the potential impact strong, validated instruments have on advancing the science of nursing education. As you consider moving beyond student self-report to more objective measures of student learning outcomes and experiences, the sound advice from these authors may be helpful.
