Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to enhance the reliability of performance assessments in history-taking interviews in English by converting abstract rubric descriptors into observable, measurable indicators. We analyzed interviews between Japanese medical students and simulated patients. For spoken English proficiency, transcribed texts were used to assess grammatical accuracy, sentence length, and fluency. For empathy and communication, eye contact frequency and duration were measured using frame-by-frame video analysis. To evaluate questioning ability, we developed the SOQ thread (Sequence of Questions), a visual tool mapping how student questions followed patient responses. Students then compared their SOQ threads with anonymized peer examples to reflect on their questioning strategies. These methods contributed to more objective and reproducible assessment criteria.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、英語医療面接における評価ルーブリックの抽象的記述を、行動観察に基づく定量的な指標として明確化した点に学術的意義がある。英語発話力・共感的態度・質問力という3側面を、文構造・視線行動・質問の連続性としてとらえ、再現性のある評価基準を構築した。特にSOQスレッドは、質問の流れや論理構造を視覚的に捉えることを可能にし、学生の内省と自己改善を促す教育ツールとしても有用である。また、抽出された行動指標は、将来的にAIによる医療面接の自動評価システムの設計にも応用可能であり、教育・技術の両面で社会的意義を持つ。
