<\/a><\/p>\nThis exam is an integral part of student learning quality and practical skills assessment.\u00a0 Its main principles are objectivity (task of equal complexity for all students, evaluation by checklist), structure (ensuring clear passage of the \u201croute\u201d and equal length of time to complete the task for all students), clinicality (simulation of clinical situations and use of equipment, as close as possible to the real ones).<\/p>\n
OSCE allows to evaluate different levels of skills: communication skills; practical (manual) skills: basic practical (manual) skills \u2013 technique of performing physical examination; complicated practical (manual) skills \u2013 physical examination in order to identify and interpret pathological changes (symptoms and syndromes); visual identification of signs; use of multimedia resources; manipulation; cognitive skills.<\/p>\n This year, a peculiarity of this examination is that digital technologies were used in OSCE, in particular the electronic checklist form and specially designed software for automatic calculation and recording of its results. All checklists were transformed into an electronic form. Teachers were able to complete them using tablets and the results were transmitted for registration via the Internet. Because the scores obtained during each student\u2019s exam were automatically calculated, the teachers had no possibility to influence on this process. This contributed to a better objectivity of evaluation and speed of results processing.<\/p>\n<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
