Qualitative survey reveals varied aspects of teaching excellence among student nurses, highlighting assessment and interactive learning.
To continually improve programme delivery, it is important that student nurses have an opportunity to voice opinions on teaching excellence within their programme of study. To explore final year pre-registration nursing students' views on teaching excellence. A qualitative survey approach was employed to collect anonymous feedback from one cohort of final year nursing students with 64 responses (25% response rate). Four themes were generated from the responses received that related to perceptions of teaching excellence: interactive learning; assessment; practice experiences; student support. Factors associated with teaching excellence are varied, depending on individual viewpoints. Clinical skills/simulation and practice-focused sessions were most equated with this term, alongside an identified need for varied interactive teaching and learning activities related to assessment requirements. Feeling valued as a student is seen to be instrumental in achieving teaching excellence.
