Objectives: After studying the article entitled “Competency-Based Assessment Methods in Adult Cardiac Sonography: Students’ Perceptions and Clinical Evaluation,” you will be able to:
Identify the different competency-based assessment methods in clinical sonography
Describe the advantages and disadvantages of different competency-based methods in clinical sonography.
Identify students’ perceptions about clinical assessment methods
The following are all competency-based assessment methods in adult echocardiography, except: Formative assessment Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE) Summative assessment Simulation
Which of the following is an advantage of simulation? Students are not exposed to rare pathology Provides the ability to remediate after receiving negative feedback Unstandardized education Increases failure rate
The use of simulation survey examined by Pessin and Tang-Simmons showed that only 20% and 30% of schools provide faculty for which simulation? Dense and elastic fidelity simulation Low- and high-fidelity simulation Digital and Manual fidelity simulation Full and Partial fidelity simulation
Advantages of OSCEs include the following, expect__________ Availability No risk of litigation Emergency skill demonstration Exposure to rare pathology
Disadvantage of OSCEs include the following, except? Time Reliability Recall Organization training
Messick’s framework proposes how many sources of valid assessment? 5 3 1 4
What type of scale was used in this research? Likert scale Semantic differential scale Slider scale Rating scale
