The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) has become an accepted method for evaluating clinical skills. Limited performance reports are available for students and residents to help hospitals prepare adequately for such examinations. Twelve medical students participated in a series of 12-station OSCE evaluated by 12 judgers using checklists with item lengths in a range from 8 to l8. We used Rasch analysis with an Excel-VBA module to provide performance reports to individual examinees that can easily (1) compute Cronbach's a and its dimension coefficient, (2) calibrate parameters of difficulty and discrimination for each station(item), and (3) produce a success probability for each examinee through a simulation approach. We designed a computer module and created a norm-referenced sample derived from students' global scores of numerous stations, which helps hospitals efficiently and objectively evaluate OSCE performances for students. |
