Video recording objective structured clinical exams (OSCEs) for appeals is not supported by current literature or UK medical institutions. Concerns exist regarding comparability of marks and feasibility of managing video review processes.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Assessment in Healthcare
Background:
- Candidates often dispute scores in objective structured clinical exams (OSCEs).
- Requests for video recording of OSCEs arise for academic appeals.
- Institutions need to verify comparability of recorded vs. live OSCE marking and technical feasibility.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the use of video recording for OSCEs.
- To investigate the comparability of marks from video marking versus live marking.
- To assess the logistical and technical challenges of video recording OSCEs.
Main Methods:
- A mixed-methods approach was employed.
- An initial literature review was conducted.
- Surveys and interviews were administered to assessment leads at UK medical and postgraduate institutions.
Main Results:
- Literature shows inconsistent findings on mark comparability, with video marking potentially yielding lower scores.
- Most UK institutions do not currently video OSCEs or plan to.
- Significant logistical, technical, and assessor-related drawbacks to video review were identified.
Conclusions:
- Video recording OSCEs for appeals presents challenges beyond logistics and technical issues.
- Current literature and UK medical institutions do not support the use of video recording for OSCE appeals.
- Feasible management of video review processes remains a significant concern.
