Findings: Six main themes and 17 sub-themes were determined to define the nursing faculty's measurement and evaluation during the learning process, the difficulties encountered during the measurement and evaluation process, the most frequently used measurement tools for objectively evaluating students, the most frequently used methods for evaluating students' performance, the difficulties encountered during the performance evaluation process, and the solution suggestions for the difficulties encountered during the measurement and evaluation process. Conclusion: It can be said that improving the quality of measurement and evaluation processes in higher education is an important necessity in terms of both balancing the workload of instructor and monitoring and evaluating student learning more reliably.
