Walstead Doctoral Study Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education Walden University April 2015 Abstract This qualitative case study explored faculty perceptions regarding best practices and uses of assessment in a dental hygiene program at a small northwestern college. It was discovered that faculty in the program were assessing students in their clinical courses using widely varied methods, designs, and scoring tools. Faculty neither calibrated processes nor communicated about this problem. In addition, a review of the assessments in this local setting indicated a significant gap in the current guidelines for best practicesThis qualitative case study explored faculty perceptions regarding best practices and uses of assessment in a dental hygiene program at a small northwestern college. It was discovered that faculty in the program were assessing students in their clinical courses using widely varied methods, designs, and scoring tools. Faculty neither calibrated processes nor communicated about this problem. In addition, a review of the assessments in this local setting indicated a significant gap in the current guidelines for best practices in clinical assessment procedures. Knowles’ adult learning theory served as the foundation for this study. Research questions were designed to obtain clinical faculty’s perceptions of their knowledge of best practices in assessment, assessment design, methods including scoring tools, and how faculty could work collaboratively to implement clearly and consistently designed best-practice assessments in their clinical courses. Interviews and reviews of assessment documents were conducted with a purposeful sample of 8 faculty participants. Data were coded and analyzed for common themes. Results indicated that instructors did not collaborate and had little knowledge of assessment criteria based on best practices, administration, and scoring procedures. At the request of the dean, a position paper was created as a project. The paper outlined strategies for designing clinical skills assessments with criteria that is consistent, clear, and based on best practices. Also included were procedures for ongoing faculty professional development and collaboration, insuring that faculty are calibrated and that assessments are valid and reliable. The results of this study can promote positive social change as faculty in this program will be increasingly confident in assessment practices, and graduates will consistently provide greater quality patient and community care. Faculty Perceptions Regarding Best Practices in Clinical Dental Hygiene Assessment by Brenda K. Walstead Doctoral Study Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education Walden University April 2015 Dedication I dedicate this project study to my mom, Barbara Bankson, who died in a car accident on December 1, 1995. I think of her often and know she would be here cheering me on if she could. My mom was an example of unconditional love that I hope to emulate in my life. I missed her in this journey as she always had a genuine interest in what I was doing and loved searching for articles. She was more than a mom; she was the best grandmother and friend ever. Acknowledgments I would like to first of all thank my husband, Mike Walstead, for his continued support during this long and often frustrating journey. I would also like to thank my Chair, Dr. Harvey Stone; Methodologist, Dr. Barbara Walker; and URR Committee Member, Dr. Karen Hunt. They never stopped encouraging me, getting me back on track, and just being there. A big thank you to my friends and peers at the college where I work for consistently forgiving me for being totally unsociable and pushing me on to completion. I thank my children, Jason, Justin, Keegan, Alex, Natalie, and Annie, for allowing me to work amidst family gatherings without guilt and with only encouragement. Most of all I thank God. He has never left my side during anything I have gone through, and I will continue to serve Him for the rest of my life." @default.
