The objectives of this developmental research were to develop and examine the quality of learning outcomes evaluation tools for nursing students based on the Thai Qualification Framework for Higher Education and 21st century skills. The participants consisted of 101 and 136 nursing students in the 2018 and 2019 academic years, respectively. Instruments included a 12-item, 4-level evaluation tool. The data were analyzed for the quality of the developed evaluation tools using Content Validity Analysis, Reliability and Factor Analysis.
The nursing project evaluation tools were developed with 12 items. The content validity of the tools was derived from IOC 0.93. The internal consistency reliability (α) of the tools was 0.691. A confirmatory factor analysis revealed a chi-square corresponding value of 48.209, at an independent degree of 51, p=0.5852, CFI=1.000, TLI=1.033, RMSEA=0.000 and SRMR=0.057, between the developed model and the empirical data.
The outcome of this study may lead to further research. The tools were suitable to be used. Policies regarding the continuous learning outcomes evaluation tools implementation should be established.
