This research aims at developing an assessment tool to improve efficiency of practice education on core fundamental nursing techniques for nursing students. Research process is composed of the process of developing a preliminary tool, that of testing validity of it, and that of confirming it as the final tool. First, assessment tools used in nursing schools were collected, and the contents of them were analyzed. Related literature was examined. And, consulting professors in nursing schools and clinical practitioners, the assessment items for core fundamental nursing techniques and the reserve item list were made. Then, the validity and reliability of them were tested by the group of seven professionals and 10 clinical practitioners. The items were revised following their suggestions, and the final version of the assessment tool was determined. The tool to assess core fundamental nursing techniques uses 3-point scale., and in the choice of core fundamental nursing techniques, 2-point scale is used. If concrete criteria are suggested to deal with gaps in scores, the scores can not only be objectified, but computerized. And, it will be possible for students to assess themselves. I wish that subsequent researches will be made in this area.
