Erratum to: Constructing a validity argument for the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS): a systematic review of validity evidence

摘要: In order to construct and evaluate the validity argument for Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS), based on Kane’s framework, we conducted a systematic review. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, ERIC, Web Science, Scopus, selected reference lists through February 2013. Working in duplicate, original research articles any language evaluating OSATS as an assessment tool health professional. iteratively collaboratively extracted evidence from included varied uses OSATS. Twenty-nine met inclusion criteria, all focussed surgical technical skills assessment. identified three intended OSATS, namely formative feedback, high-stakes program evaluation. Following four inferences were examined (scoring, generalization, extrapolation, decision). For feedback assessment, there was reasonable scoring extrapolation. However, dearth generalization aside inter-rater reliability data absence linking multi-station scores performance real clinical settings. evaluation, supported by extrapolation evidence. There complete lack regarding implications decisions scores. general, use feedback. Research provide support is required if be used higher-stakes
