Student’s Self-Efficacy in Numeracy and Skill Performance in first year: The SYNAPSE-STARS Project

Abstract

In June 2017, a group of academics at the Western Sydney University School of Nursing and Midwifery commenced a research project looking at undergraduate nursing students’ experiences in an introductory unit to medication administration. They sought to explore the relationship between numeracy and clinical skills self-efficacy and undergraduate students’ performance in respective numeracy and clinical skills assessments of this unit. To complete my workplace project portfolio, I was involved as part of this research team to assist with data analysis.
