Objective: Contemporary advanced professional nursing requires the ability to communicate effectively in written and oral forms. Many registered nurses enter graduate nursing school with experience writing in medical records but with no experience writing scholarly papers or writing for publication. This article describes the development, implementation and evaluation of a writing course developed in an online graduate nursing program in the southeastern United States. The goal of this research was to determine if graduate nursing students’ writing self-efficacy increased after the completion of a newly developed one-credit online writing course.Methods: Fifty-three first-semester graduate nursing students participated in a 16-week online asynchronous writing course developed at a school of nursing. The course instructors designed writing experiences with the goal of increasing writing competency. The faculty defined writing competence as achieving mastery of the necessary writing skills to produce an organized, logical, understandable message containing the effective use of language, grammar, and punctuation.Results: The students’ writing self-efficacy increased significantly from pretest and posttest. The results revealed a significant increase in self efficacy scores with the second administration of the tool. The mean of the 20-question Likert scale pretest was 70.59. Results obtained after the conclusion of the course resulted in a mean of 80.12. The finding of a mean increase of 9.529 was found to be statistically significant.Conclusions: The information from this research can be used to develop effective strategies to support online graduate students with their writing skills. This experience highlights the fact that we cannot leave the development of academic writing to chance. Achieving academic writing success requires structured instruction, practice and frequent feedback from faculty who have the passion for and expertise in scholarly writing.

本論では、教室で実施される客観テストに使用される問題の作成に必要な3つのステップを紹介する。具体的には、1. カリキュラム全体のゴールや学習行動目標の決定と構成概念の構築を含むテスト準備、2. テスト細目表の作成、3. 問題作成である。評価は授業と密接につながっており、授業は学習行動目標が反映されていなければならない。したがって、学習行動目標なしにテスト作成はできない。さらに、構成概念や授業で学習したユニットやトピックをバランスよく測定するにはテスト細目表が非常に便利である。テスト細目表とは、学習行動目標とトピック等の内容を二方向に1つの表にまとめたものである。最後に、テスト問題を作成するにあたって言語やフォーマット関連等の様々な注意点を紹介する。 This paper introduces three important steps for writing items in objective tests used in classroom-contexts; namely, preparing for the test, which includes writing course goals and objectives and defining the construct, making a table of specifications, and writing items. Because assessment is deeply intertwined with instruction, which reflects pre-determined course goals and objectives, tests cannot be developed without instructional goals and objectives. Furthermore, in order to assess constructs and units/topics covered in the class in a balanced manner, a table of specifications, which is a two-way chart that lists both the instructional objectives and test content, is an important tool. Finally, several tips for developing items are introduced.
