Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Professions Education

Background:

  • Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) traditionally rely on paper-based record-keeping, demanding significant resources.
  • Computer-assisted administration, particularly using tablets, presents a viable alternative to reduce material needs and enhance flexibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate user acceptance of tablet-based OSCEs among examiners and student examinees.
  • To assess examiner satisfaction with tablet functionality and perceived effort.
  • To gather student feedback on tablet-based assessment experiences.

Main Methods:

  • User acceptance was analyzed for two Internal Medicine OSCEs at the University of Heidelberg.
  • Examiner satisfaction and perceived effort were measured using questionnaires and interviews.
  • Student acceptance was evaluated through semi-standardized interviews during one OSCE.

Main Results:

  • Examiners reported high satisfaction with tablet use, rating the perceived effort as "hardly difficult".
  • Key advantages identified by examiners included ease of use and a low error rate.
  • Student examinees also demonstrated acceptance of tablets during the assessment.

Conclusions:

  • Tablet-based OSCEs are well-accepted by both examiners and student examinees.
  • This digital method is anticipated to offer benefits in assessment documentation, resource management, and error reduction over paper-based systems.
  • Further research is recommended to explore these advantages comprehensively.
