Making sense of work-based assessment - Jim Crossley interview

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 5, 2012 22:39


Historically, assessments have often measured the measurable rather than the important. Over the last 30 years, however, we have witnessed a gradual shift of focus in medical education. We now attempt to teach and assess what matters most. In addition, the component parts of a competence must be marshalled together and integrated to deal with real workplace problems. Workplace-based assessment (WBA) is complex, and has relied on a number of recently developed methods and instruments, of which some involve checklists and others use judgements made on rating scales. Given that judgements are subjective, how can we optimise their validity and reliability?

Realist methods in medical education research: what are they and what can they contribute?

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 21, 2011 18:48


Education is a complex intervention which produces different outcomes in different circumstances. Education researchers have long recognised the need to supplement experimental studies of efficacy with a broader range of study designs that will help to unpack the ‘how’ and ‘why’ questions and illuminate the many, varied and interdependent mechanisms by which interventions may work (or fail to work) in different contexts. The third State of the Science special issue, published each January, features a paper by Geoff Wong (Centre for Primary Care and Public Health, Blizard Institute, Queen Mary University of London, London, UK), Trisha Greenhalgh, Gill Westhorp and Ray Pawson entitled: ‘Realist methods in medical education research: what are they and what can they contribute?’ Read the paper: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2923.2011.04045.x/abstract
