Optimising the Reproducibility of a Performance-Based Assessment Test in Midwifery Education

Optimising the Reproducibility of a Performance-Based Assessment Test in Midwifery Education Despite problems concerning generalisability of test results – largely due to limited sampling of the task domain – and questions about test efficiency, the popularity of OSCEs in medical education has motivated the use of similar assessment methods in other health care domains. Purpose of this study was to investigate reproducibility of scores on an OSCE-based test in the relatively narrow domain of midwifery, as compared to the broad medical domain. The influence of global rating scales and adoption of a mastery-oriented test perspective on reproducibility of test scores was investigated in order to explore possibilities to increase test efficiency. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Advances in Health Sciences Education Springer Journals

Abstract

Despite problems concerning generalisability of test results – largely due to limited sampling of the task domain – and questions about test efficiency, the popularity of OSCEs in medical education has motivated the use of similar assessment methods in other health care domains. Purpose of this study was to investigate reproducibility of scores on an OSCE-based test in the relatively narrow domain of midwifery, as compared to the broad medical domain. The influence of global rating scales and adoption of a mastery-oriented test perspective on reproducibility of test scores was investigated in order to explore possibilities to increase test efficiency.
