The use of contracts in grading clinical performance has provided faculty with a solution to two important problems. One has been how to ensure that students are graded consistently among the various faculty who are grading the same clinical component of a course. The second has been to increase the opportunity for individualized attention to student learning needs. We have been pleased to see all the faculty members increase their input and involvement in the continuing modifications of the contract. Although we have taken the major responsibility for the semi-annual revisions of the contract, other faculty members have been increasingly more explicit in their evaluations and suggestions as their experience with the contract has expanded. Their confidence in this method of clinical evaluation has increased with each semester of use. We plan to continue in the refinement of the instrument and will develop materials for the use of other faculty groups who are interested in developing similar contracts. We are also designing a survey to attempt to discover how widespread is the use of contract grading in clinical areas.
在临床绩效评分中使用合同为教师们提供了解决两个重要问题的方法。一个问题是如何确保在对课程中同一临床部分进行评分的不同教师之间,学生得到的评分是一致的。另一个问题是增加针对学生学习需求进行个性化关注的机会。我们很高兴看到所有教师都增加了对合同持续修订的投入和参与。虽然我们承担了合同半年一次修订的主要责任,但随着其他教师对合同的经验不断增加,他们在评估和建议方面也越来越明确。随着每一个学期的使用,他们对这种临床评估方法的信心也在增强。我们计划继续完善该工具,并将为其他有兴趣制定类似合同的教师群体开发相关材料。我们还在设计一项调查,试图了解合同评分在临床领域的使用有多广泛。
