A pilot study on the rationality and reliability of objective structured clinical examination in ophthalmology

选择在北京大学第三医院眼科实习的2002级和2003级八年制临床医学专业95名学生进行客观结构化临床考试,并在考试后进行问卷调查,比较客观结构化临床考试和传统笔试对学生学习、生活、心理状态等方面的影响.调查结果表明,客观结构化临床考试可以优化学生的时间安排,且不影响学生对知识的理解;同时,能够提高学生的学习兴趣,降低学习压力和考试焦虑,对学生生活的影响低于传统笔试;客观结构化临床考试较传统笔试难度小、知识覆盖范围广.实践证明,客观结构化临床考试在眼科学教学中的应用具有一定的合理性和有效性.The aim of this research is to evaluate the strength and weakness of objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) as an assessment method in the course of ophthalmology. 95 Students from the Health Science Center of Peking University took ophthalmology OSCE and were given a questionnaire comparing OSCE and traditional written-test. The results showed that students spent their time quite differently in these two situations with a more rational time allocation in OSCE. No significant knowledge comprehension difference was found between them. Also, students felt more interested in study and less stressed under OSCE. Lastly, students thought OSCE covered more knowledge and felt the test was less difficult than written-test. OSCE is a rational and reliable evaluation tool in medical education.中国科技核心期刊(ISTIC)01150-1513
