Inadequate attention has been given to verifying the psychometric attributes of the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE), yet its popularity has been increasing in recent years. Our 6 years' experience in Nigeria showed that OSCE is practicable in undergraduate psychiatry assessment and there is evidence over consecutive years that it has satisfactory reliability and criterion-based validity. The importance of students' feedback in assessing the quality of examination is reinforced, and subtle, less tangible elements which determine students' performance, such as social interactional mystique and some personality traits, are worthy of evaluative research.
客观结构化临床考试(OSCE)的心理测量属性尚未得到充分验证,但近年来其受欢迎程度却在不断提高。我们在尼日利亚的6年经验表明,OSCE在本科精神病学评估中是可行的,并且连续多年有证据表明它具有令人满意的信度和基于标准的效度。学生反馈在评估考试质量中的重要性得到了加强,而一些决定学生表现的微妙、不太明显的因素,如社会互动神秘感和某些人格特质,值得进行评估研究。
