Assessment Project

1.  To measure the ability of a student to splint an injury with efficiency, neatness, and using proper steps.

2.  This is for an 11th grade class at a public school. Both boys and girls will be present and tested the same. The class will have been exposed to these splinting techniques for two days. Testing will be held on the third day. This is could vary based on the class and whether they understand.

3.  This will be used for a posttest to grade what was learned in class. Hopefully, this will motivate students to try their best to improve over the two days.

4.  The reason I am focusing on the specific skill of splinting is because it is necessary to know how to help prevent further injury.

5.  It will be on a 0-10 scale.

  1. 0-2.5: Did not demonstrate any of the 3 core concepts to splinting. Splint was too tight cutting off circulation. Moved the injured joint. Did not practice the safety skills.
  2. 2.5-5: Demonstrated only 2 of the 3 core concepts to splinting. Splint cut off circulation. Didn’t move injured joint. Practice most of the safety skills.
  3. 5-7.5: Demonstrated 2 of the 3 core concepts to splinting. Checked after splinting for circulation. Moved joint slightly. Practiced most of the safety skills. Neat dressing.
  4. 7.5-10: Demonstrated all 3 core concepts to splinting. Checked after splint for circulation. Didn’t move joint. Practiced all safety skills. Excellent job with dressing!

6.  The test facilitator will need to provide 3 or 4 triangle bandages, a blanket, a Popsicle stick, a book/flexible binder, and medical tape for two stations. Each student will get their own rubric. The teacher will be the only one to make marks on the rubric. Take two pairs at a time and observe how each individual does 3 of the splints (lower body, upper body, and finger). Have other students practice or complete worksheet while administering the test. Each splint will have a time limit in which the student will need to complete the splint (found on rubric).

7.  I will be converting the number scale to a letter grade and number grade out of 100. This will be used as an end of a lesson test to check understanding. Therefore, it will be a bit of both formative and summative. It will tell me if I have explained well enough. Also, it will be like an end of a chapter test.
