Introduction Hey at that spot podcast listeners. You’re pretty proficient at your job, right? I mean, if your chore is beingness a student, I suspect you’re getting generally As as well as Bs. If y'all are a practitioner, y'all know, out inwards the field, as well as then the fact that you’re listening to this episode purely for your ain edification suggests that y'all are a dedicated social worker. That, or you’ll psyche to merely nigh anything straightaway that the showtime flavor of the Serial Podcast is over. I know, I’m correct at that spot alongside you. But I digress. When it comes to your performance, unless I’m your plain instructor or your professor, I don’t genuinely know how good you’re doing. If I were inwards the room alongside you, similar genuinely alive inwards the room alongside you, non merely inwards your ear, I could inquire you, how proficient are you? If you’ve had to fill upwards out your ain plain evaluation or annual employee self-evaluation you’ve idea nigh how y'all would charge per unit of measurement yourself. The work alongside rating ourselves is that, well, nosotros don’t create a real proficient chore of it. We recollect we’re doing amend at everyday tasks than nosotros genuinely are, as well as nosotros recollect we’re doing worse on hard or odd tasks than nosotros genuinely are. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 classic 1981 written report past times Ola Svenson (Svenson, 1981) establish that 93% of American drivers rated themselves equally inwards a higher identify average. I know, you’re thinking that Svenson must select studied drivers inwards Garrison Keillor’s fictional Wisconsin town of Lake Wobegon where “all the women are strong, all the men are proficient looking as well as all the children are inwards a higher identify average.”
So, if your self-evaluation isn’t peculiarly valid (not to endure confused alongside reliable - it mightiness endure reliably over- or underestimated, but non a valid assessment), who could render an objective evaluation of your skills? In social function education, the supposition is that your professors as well as plain instructor,or “practice teachers,” equally they are called inwards England, are the best people to ask.
But what if they are not?
Professors select been criticized for contributing to degree inflation - the so-called “Lake Wobegon effect” where all pupil grades are inwards a higher identify average. Consider this. In 1940, the most mutual degree received past times students at a academy was a “C.” 35% of students received “Cs” compared alongside 15% who received “As.” In 2008, the most mutual degree was an “A” alongside 42% of students receiving an Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 as well as exclusively 15% earning a “C.” (http://www.gradeinflation.com/). Now, this isn’t an indictment of social function faculty. This written report was based on undergraduate grades across all programs. And I’ve heard social function faculty debate that it is unethical to top students who can’t create function at an “A” level. So, it mightiness endure that inwards social function faculty are working genuinely hard to brand certain those C students move Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 students. But perhaps not.
What nigh field instructors? The intelligence isn’t thus proficient hither either. According to a written report past times Marion Bogo as well as colleagues, “field instructors had extremely high understanding when evaluating surgery of students they did non know” (Bogo, 2014, p. xiv). But, these same plain instructors had peachy difficulty evaluating their ain students, inwards role because of the relationships they had alongside students. For example, if I’m your plain instructor as well as I genuinely similar y'all or I genuinely dislike y'all it is going to endure harder for me to objectively evaluate your skills. The vogue to “go easier” on likeable students is what researchers telephone band a “leniency bias.” And for a profession that considers plain educational activity a “signature pedagogy,” valid as well as reliable evaluations of pupil surgery inwards plain is paramount.
And that brings me to today’s topic: objective standardized structured exams, also known equally OSCE. For over a hundred years, educators select struggled alongside the best agency to render social workers alongside the knowledge AND skills needed to render the best services possible to clients. The sectionalization inwards most schools is that knowledge is provided inwards the classroom as well as specific practise skills are gained inwards the field. But starting inwards 2008, the Council on Social Work Education - the national trunk that accredits schools of social function inwards the USA, required programs to evaluate a student's competence inwards 10 areas. Competency-based outcomes emphasize what a pupil tin hand notice do, non merely what they know. If evaluations past times students, professors, as well as plain instructors autumn curt inwards the ways I’ve merely mentioned, what tin hand notice nosotros do?
Today’s episode looks at 1 approach that is intended to render a to a greater extent than objective as well as structured evaluation of social function skills - the OSCE, which stands for the Objective Structured Clinical Examination. My guests, Marion Bogo as well as Mary Rawlings, as well as their co-authors Ellen Katz as well as Carmen Logie, are pioneers inwards the development, implementation, as well as evaluation of OSCE adapted for social work. Marion Bogo is professor at the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto. She has published over 100 magazine articles as well as majority chapters, as well as five books. In 2013 she was awarded the Significant Lifetime Achievement inwards Social Work Education Award from the Council of Social Work Education, USA inwards recognition of her contributions to social function educational activity as well as to improving assessment of professional person competence. In 2014 she was appointed equally an Officer of the Order of Canada for her achievements inwards the plain of social function equally a scholar as well as teacher, as well as for advancing the practise inwards Canada as well as abroad. Mary Rawlings is a professor at Azusa Pacific University, Chair of the Department of Social Work as well as currently serves equally managing director of the MSW program. Her electrical flow enquiry focuses on the evolution of OSCE exams for social work. She is a licensed clinical social worker alongside to a greater extent than than 10 years of practise experience. Their 2014 CSWE Press text, Using Simulation inwards Assessment as well as Teaching: OSCE Adapted for Social Work (Objective Structured Clinical Examination), reviews how to conceptualize competence as well as what are the implications for assessment, how to design, prepare, as well as implement an OSCE, how to develop practise competence through teaching alongside simulation, as well as finally how to engage academy partners inwards delivering OSCE adapted for social work. For instructors who are interested inwards learning how to implement OSCE adapted for social function the text has over l pages of appendices alongside practical resources. Additionally, Marion as well as her colleagues select been providing Faculty Development Institutes at CSWE’s annual plan coming together for the past times several years, as well as volition bear annual roundtable discussions at APM.
I spoke alongside Marion as well as Mary inwards Oct 2014 at CSWE’s 60th annual plan coming together inwards Tampa, Florida. Unlike most guests whom I schedule months inwards advance, Marion as well as Mary responded to a in conclusion infinitesimal invite. We came upwards alongside the questions on the spot. And as well as then something odd happened. They merely kind of answered the questions without me. Which, inwards retrospect, wasn’t surprising when I realized they had spent much of previous 4 days talking at length nigh OSCE. So, you’ll hear a lot of them as well as non a lot of me.
And now, without farther ado, on to episode 94 of the Social Work Podcast: Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) Adapted for Social Work: Interview alongside Marion Bogo as well as Mary Rawlings.
