Outline of Final Research Achievements

Adopting the Faculty of Dentistry at Niigata University and the Department of Physical Therapy at Aino University as our main fields of practical study, we redesigned and implemented performance assessments --"Modified Triple Jump" and "Deep OSCE-R" -- in order to evaluate student competences (e.g., problem solving, basic clinical competences). In addition, through integrating direct and indirect assessments, we illustrated both qualitatively and quantitatively that those performance assessments also promoted students' deep active learning and fostered their competences.
Furthermore, we developed Pivotal Embedded Performance Assessment (PEPA) as a new method of utilizing performance assessments as learning outcomes assessments at program level as well as course level.
