| مستخلص: | There is an increased demand on nursing faculty to provide quality teaching and assessment. Nursing faculty are required to ensure accurate assessment of learning through testing and outcome measurement that are critical elements of the evaluation process. Likewise, nursing faculty should implement a logical evaluation system. However, the literature suggests that nursing faculty are not well prepared in the aspects of measurement and evaluation. It also indicates that there is a lack in test development competencies and that faculty do not follow test development guidelines. Both teacher-made tests (TMT) and standardized test scores inform nursing faculty what the students have learned; however, the validity and reliability of TMT remain an area of concern. Improvement of TMT is an ongoing effort of nursing faculty. Guided by Social Justice Theory, this descriptive, correlational, and comparative study evaluated nurse faculty competencies in TMT development. The study design provided an examination of the fairness of testing practices among nurse faculty in the College of Health Sciences in Oman. The faculty competencies were assessed via the evaluation of TMT for the content coverage, difficulty levels, and the validity and reliability of the tests. Descriptive statistics were used to portray the sample. Pearson's correlation was used to determine the relationship between TMT and committee-designed standardized end-of-semester final examinations (CDESFE). The results revealed a positive correlation between students' test scores in teacher-made and students' test scores on committee-designed standardized end-of-semester final examinations. A MANOVA was used to determine the differences between the TMT and CDESFE on the measures of best-practice guidelines and item mean scores. The results revealed no significant difference between teacher-made tests and committee-designed standardized end-of-semester final examinations on the variables item analysis and best practice guidelines. A multiple linear regression was used to determine if the students' test scores from TMT and students' test scores from CDESFE predict students' overall academic achievement. Students' test scores from teacher-made tests and scores from committee-designed standardized end-of-semester final examinations predicted students' overall academic achievement. With a gap in how nurse faculty implement TMT, there are potential negative consequences on students' progress towards licensure examination. This study contributes to nursing science and nursing education the aspects of objective, efficient, fair, and equitable assessment measures in the classroom setting. These findings may also transfer to the clinical setting where nursing students, staff, and faculty are assessed during and after educational sessions and workshops.
