R. Vinodh Kumar
Abstract
The performance based student assessment during OSPE, challenge the examiners accurately capturing students’ practical skills. In order to solve this problem, this study introduces a new Innovative procedure of videotaped objective structured practical examination (VOSPE) in the area of health care education to support the existing objective structured practical exam (OSPE). The purpose of this study is to introduce the videotaped OSPE among fifth semester physiotherapy students to assess their stress level and performance irregular objective structured practical exam (ROSPE). Statistical analysis by one way ANOVA reported that there is no significant difference (P=0.578 and P=0.095) in the students’ performance between the three stations. The student’s survey feedback favors VOSPE for practical exam, which could be new method in the health science curriculum, support to increase OSPE station numbers, compensate personnel and to reduce examiner fatigue.
