RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: A systematic evaluation plan is required in nursing education to determine achievement of curricular initiatives and to improve program student learning outcomes. An innovative approach that included direct involvement of students was implemented in the evaluation of a quality improvement (QI) initiative aimed at enhancing student success. METHOD: Through the use of action research (AR), students became coresearchers to critically appraise educational strategies implemented in an undergraduate curriculum improvement plan. RESULTS: The purpose of this article is to describe the student and faculty reflections and experiences while using AR to evaluate outcomes in an undergraduate QI project. Two critical variables were discovered based upon student voice, which changed the course of the project. CONCLUSION: Action research methodology successfully increased the rigor of evaluating a QI initiative by a faculty-student research team. Student voices uncovered two powerful variables which expanded the project to effectively improve nursing education. [J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(1):42-45.].
