Education Practicum Project
(Use the sub-headings below or similar subheadings, depending on your particular project)
Objectives
What were the long-term and short-term objectives of your project?
Describe your practicum site and the recipients of your intervention. Did you work with students? The nursing staff? The administration?
What organizational change model guided the implementation of your project? What are the steps of that model and what did you do at each step? construct a table with the steps of the model on the left and what you will be doing at each step in your implementation.
Describe your results in quantitative and qualitative terms. What were the results of your evaluation? If you used a quiz, how did your learners perform on your quiz? What suggestions did you receive on improving your intervention? How did your outcomes improve, or did they?
If your outcomes did not improve, what is your explanation? What suggestions do you have for the practicum site going forward? Did you answer your PICOT question? What are the limitations of your project? If you didn’t get the results you expected, speculate on why.
First, summarize your findings in a transition sentence or two. Then address these questions, each in a paragraph. What are the implications of your project results for theory development? Did your intervention and results confirm the theory you used in your intervention? If not, why not? If your results indicate that other variables outside the theory might also affect your results, speculate on possible reasons.
What are the implications of your project for research? What research questions arise from your project? How could you further study your intervention? What are the unanswered questions?
Next, what are the implications of your project for teaching practice? For clinical practice? How would you recommend other teachers implement your intervention?
What was your goal was at the beginning of your project? What did you do? What were the results? What advice would you give to future educators
