Assessing pediatric clerkship evaluations using generalizability theory.

Evaluation of pediatric clerkship ratings using generalizability theory is demonstrated. Ratings collected during an academic year are analyzed in a generalizability study, with emphasis placed upon the nature of the designs used to collect ratings. Since decisions regarding students' performances are made with these data, decision-study type analyses were carried out using the generalizability study results. Recommendations are made as to the type of designs that could be used in order to obtain generalizable results.

Obtaining generalizability coefficients for clinical evaluations.

This article discusses the determination of reliability coefficients for clinical evaluation forms by use of generalizability theory. This method is contrasted to some of the commonly used measures of interobserver agreement, interobserver reliability, and classical reliability. The value of this method in terms of making recommendations, such as the number of judges and the number of items on a form, in order to improve reliability is illustrated by two examples. Also, the difference between norm-referenced decisions and criterion-referenced decisions in determining reliability with this method is presented.
