OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) is a common method of assessing clinical skills used at many universities. An important and at the same time difficult aspect of good examination preparation is obtaining a properly trained and well-motivated group of assessors. To effectively recruit and maintain cooperation with assessors, it is worth to know their opinion. The aim of this study was to investigate the opinions of teacher-examiners about OSCE and to identify the factors that could shape this opinion and influence on motivation.
A cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire on teachers who participated as OSCE examiners. This questionnaire consisted of 21 questions about their perceptions. Answers were rated in a five-point Likert-type scale. Chi-square or Fisher's exact test was used to analyze the data.
A total of 49 (out of 52) teachers participated in this study. Nearly 90% of examiners believed that it is fair, more than 90% that it is transparent. Despite the fact that 67% of examiners believe the examination is difficult to organize and 71% believe it is stressful for students, according to 72% of respondents the OSCE has a positive effect on learning. More than 91% of examiners believed that the OSCE is an appropriate test to assess students' skills. Opinions about examination were independent of specialty, seniority, gender or taking the OSCE as students.
Teacher-examiners viewed the OSCE as a fair and transparent examination, adequate for assessment of skills and, despite it being difficult to organize, worth doing as it is appropriate to assess practical skills and positively influences students' motivation to learn tested skills.
客观结构化临床考试（OSCE）是许多大学用来评估临床技能的常用方法。做好考试准备的一个重要且具有挑战性的方面是获得一组训练有素且积极性高的评估者。为了有效地招募和维持评估者的合作，了解他们的意见是值得的。本研究的目的是调查教师评估者对 OSCE 的看法，并确定影响他们观点的因素以及对其积极性的影响。
采用问卷调查的方法对作为 OSCE 考官的教师进行横断面研究。该问卷由 21 个关于他们看法的问题组成。答案采用 5 分 Likert 量表评分。采用卡方检验或 Fisher 确切概率法分析数据。
共有 49 名（52 名中的 49 名）教师参与了这项研究。近 90%的评估者认为 OSCE 是公平的，超过 90%的评估者认为 OSCE 是透明的。尽管 67%的评估者认为考试组织困难，71%的评估者认为对学生有压力，但根据 72%的受访者的说法，OSCE 对学习有积极影响。超过 91%的评估者认为 OSCE 是评估学生技能的适当测试。对考试的看法与专业、资历、性别或作为学生参加 OSCE 无关。
教师评估者认为 OSCE 是一种公平透明的考试，适合评估技能，尽管组织起来具有挑战性，但值得进行，因为它适合评估实践技能，并积极影响学生学习测试技能的积极性。
