Sample text

Space for comments is also useful to provide opportunities to indicate rating challenges or more specifics about the learner’s performance (Kachur et al. 1990). Sample rating forms can be found in Appendices G, H, and O. Appendix J provides a checklist development template. 6 provides a stepwise process for developing behavior-specific rating form items. The number of behaviorally anchored items that are assessed within a particular domain affects the quality of the measurement. The more items, the more reliable and valid a rating form is likely to be.

Each OSCE form should be clearly marked with station number and title. , “Secret Drinker”). In designing a scenario one should also consider how to use the time immediately following the SP encounter. Post-encounter options for the learner include writing up a patient note, interpreting additional diagnostic information, receiving immediate feedback, or, simply, rest. 3). If learners receive feedback after each encounter there are typically strict time limits. Thus it is very important to provide clear guidelines for the observer, whether it is a faculty member or the SP.
