Using Simulation in Assessment and Teaching: OSCE Adapted for Social Work

by Marion Bogo, Mary Rawlings, Ellen Katz

Assessment of student competency is an essential part of social work education. Authors Marion Bogo, Mary Rawlings, Ellen Katz, and Carmen Logie go beyond the traditional domains for assessing students the classroom and field practica to offer a new approach that approximates authentic practice tasks, the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) adapted for social work. Based on the work of two research teams and the extensive experience of the authors, this book provides all the resources necessary for programs to develop and implement the OSCE. In addition to a wealth of practical material in the appendices, two videos produced especially for this book (accessible online) show the OSCE process step-by-step.
