TEACHING PORTFOLIO - DEVELOP - ASSESSMENT OF LEARNER PERFORMANCE

 

IV. Assessment of Learner Performance
 
Provide evidence of the ability to construct and implement reliable and valid assessments of student performance over a range of methods (e.g. written examinations, Objective Structured Clinical Examinations, oral examinations, chart reviews). Two essential qualities are:
 
A. Reliability: consistency, precision and dependability of the measuremement
   
 
  • Test-retest reliability
 
  • Inter-rater reliability
   
B. Validity:
   
 
  • Face validity: student ratings of the "fairness of the evaluation"
 
  • Content validity: appropriately samples the instructional experience
 
  • Criterion validity: How do your evaluations compare with other faculty's?
 
  • Authorship of administrative reports
   
 
The Educator's Portfolio (1) from the Medical College of Wisconsin will be used as a model.
