Introduction
• Why do we assess
student clinical
skills?
• What is challenging
about preparing and
using skills
assessments?
Steps in Skill Development
• Direct observation
of students as they
perform skills
• Structured feedback
reports on students’
performance
• Logbooks, learning
journals, and care
plans
Direct Observation #1
• Oral questioning
can be used with
direct observation.
• Develop instructions.
If many students
had trouble with the
same tasks, either
the teaching
methods or
materials did not
adequately cover
that learning
objective, or the
task needs to be
redefined.
