“…They stated that this may be due to the difference between the real and the simulated environments, because working with a real patient gives people more motivation than the simulated environments. On the other hand, usually general assessment sheets are used to assess students in clinical field environments; while in the OSCE each procedure is assessed separately and in full detail [28]. In addition, our results showed no significant correlation between OSCE scores and the mean score of theoretical courses.…”

“…They showed a positive and significant relationship between the written exam scores and OSCE results [33]. Sabzi et al (2018), found the higher correlation between theoretical score and OSCE score compared to clinical score and OSCE score [28]. Moattari (2013) argued that in spite of all the works on objective tests in the fields of knowledge, skills, and attitudes, theoretical tests are better in measuring the qualifications and competence of individuals [34].…”

Background: Clinical evaluation is one of the main pillars of medical education. The Objective Structured Clinical Examination is one of the commonly adopted practical tools to evaluate clinical and practical skills of medical students. The purpose of the study is to determine validity and reliability of Objective Structured Clinical Examination for evaluation of clinical skills of midwifery undergraduate students. Methods: Seven clinical skills were evaluated in this descriptive correlative study using a performance checklist. Census method was used for sampling. Thirty-two midwifery students performed the skills at seven stations each monitored by an observer using an evaluation checklist. Criterion validity was obtained through determining the correlation between the clinical and theoretical courses point and the Objective Structured Clinical Evaluation score. The collected data was analyzed in SPSS (v.20) and logistic regression test. Results: The correlation score of Objective Structured Clinical Examination was significantly related to the mean score of clinical course "Normal and Abnormal delivery I" (0.399, p = 0.024) and the mean score of clinical course "gynaecology "(0.419, p = 0.017). There was no significant correlation between OSCE scores and the mean score of theoretical courses (0.23, p = 0. 200). The correlation between the total score and mean score of students at the stations showed that out of the seven stations, the correlations of the stations three (communication and collecting medical history) and four (childbirth) were not significant. Conclusion: Although, it appeared that Objective Structured Clinical Examination was one of the effective and efficient ways to evaluate clinical competencies and practical skills of students, the tool could not evaluate all the aspects.

AimTo identify the presence of variability in the evaluation of case studies prepared by nursing students during their primary care rotations based on the existing evaluation rubric. To explore the difficulties experienced by link lecturers and students in preparing and evaluating case studies.DesignA mixed methods study.MethodsThe scores for the rubric items and the final grades for the case studies were collected from a sample of 132 cases. Qualitative information was collected by conducting open‐ended interviews with lecturers and a focus group session with students.ResultsStatistically significant differences were identified between the lecturers' mean final grades [F(5.136) = 3.984, p = 0.002] and a variety of items in the evaluation rubric (p < 0.05). In addition, effect sizes [η2 (≈0.14)] of considerable magnitude were found.Two themes emerged from the qualitative data: (1). the challenge of preparing the case studies and (2). the variable nature of the evaluations.
