Description of assessment types

Formative Assessment
Ongoing feedback on your performance during your assessment tasks is for your benefit and allows you to assess how you are progressing in CP II OH. It also provides the staff with opportunities to monitor your performance, both theoretical and practical. It is your responsibility to incorporate this feedback into your approach and strategies for your learning.

At the end of Semester 1 and in September Semester 2, in both the OHT Paediatric Care and OHT Adult Care clinic components, you will have a feedback session with your tutor, who will discuss a formative grade with you, based upon your self- assessment sheets (these formative grades are used for feedback purposes only). These are designed to give you feedback on your progress, and to provide a scaffold to assist you in identifying areas not yet meeting the required standard and develop approaches for improvement.

You should use each source of formative feedback that you receive to monitor your own performance and implement strategies to address any issues. Students that have not achieved a satisfactory standard will be required to meet with the course coordinators and present strategies for improvement.

Summative Assessment
There will be written examinations at the end of Semester 1 (weighted 10%) and Semester 2 (20%). You will complete a case assignments in Semester 1 & 2 that will comprise 15% of your final grade.

For Simulation clinic, at the end of Semester 1 you will receive a summative grade that will be weighted 5% toward your final grade; at the end of Semester 2 the weighted component will be 15%.

At the end of Semester 2, you will receive a written review of your clinical progress and summative grades will be awarded by the course coordinator towards your final practical grade. OHT Paediatric Care and Adult Care clinics will have equal weighting. This summative component will be weighted 40% towards your final grade. However you must reach a satisfactory standard in both Paediatric Care and Adult Care clinics to pass Clinical Practice II OH.

Further information about the practical assessment component will be given during class meetings. However, you should be aware that your final grade in the clinical component of Clinical Practice is not just the sum of individual assessments in your self-assessment booklet. These assessments are formative comments and provided to help you with your learning.

It is also important to note that the final assessment for each semester is based upon the standard obtained towards the end of the assessment period. It is not based on an average of the entire semester.

Your final assessment will be based on an overall review of your knowledge, skills, attitudes and professional behaviour in a clinical context. You should discuss your overall performance with your tutors and mentors throughout the year.

Every effort will be made to help students identify areas of difficulty and to provide help to remedy problems. If you are aware that you are having difficulty with any part of the course, please see one of your tutors or the Program Coordinator.

Assessment Overview
Hurdle 1: Practical component – Simulation clinic
Performance in the simulation clinic is based on written assessments of performance in sim clinic sessions over Semester 2 (approx mid-year to the end of the year). Assessment addresses application of knowledge, clinical information review, diagnostic and management skills, practical/technical skills, professional behaviour and interpersonal skills (refer to Simulation Clinic Assessment Criteria and Standards Book).

You are responsible for monitoring your own learning and therefore you should be familiar with the Simulation Clinic Assessment Criteria and Standards (refer to MyUni). Sim clinic tutors provide verbal and written feedback related to the assessment criteria and standards to you during each session to assist your learning and development. You should be proactive with your tutors to seek feedback on your progress. This includes identifying and discussing areas that require improvement and seeking assistance to identify and implement realistic strategies for improvement.

Formative and summative clinic performance in CPIIOH is based on a criterion-based standard reporting system (E, G, S, B, U) for sim clinic. These standards are then converted to a moderated score that contributes to the final grading of your practical components for the year.

Hurdle 2: Practical component – OHT Paediatric Care & OHT Adult Care Clinic
Student performance in clinic (and any simulated clinic) is based on written assessments of performance in clinical and sim clinic sessions over Semester 2 (approx mid-year to the end of the year). Assessment addresses application of knowledge, clinical examination, diagnostic and management skills, practical/technical skills, professional behaviour and interpersonal skills (refer to Clinical Assessment Criteria and Standards Book).

You are responsible for monitoring your own learning and therefore you should be familiar with the Clinical Assessment Criteria and Standards. Clinic and sim clinic tutors provide verbal and written feedback related to the assessment criteria and standards to you during each session to assist your learning and development. You should be proactive with your tutors to seek feedback on your progress. This includes identifying and discussing areas that require improvement and seeking assistance to identify and implement realistic strategies for improvement.

Formative and summative clinic performance in CPIIOH is centered on a criterion-based standard reporting system
(E, G, S, B, U) for clinic. These standards are converted to a moderated score that contributes to the final grading of your practical components for the year (see Table 2).

To pass the CPIIOH course overall you must achieve a satisfactory standard for both your OHT Paediatric Care and Adult Care Clinic components. The final standard rating in the Clinical component of CPIIOH is not just the sum of individual assessments in your self-assessment booklet. These assessments provide feedback to help you with your learning. Your final assessment is based on an overall review of your clinical examination, diagnostic and management skills, practical/technical skills, professional behaviour, and interpersonal skills in the clinic context across the whole academic year. This includes overall professional behaviour, such as attendance and monitoring your own performance.

Hurdle 3: Written Examination – OHT Paediatric Care and OHT Adult Care
To pass the CPIIOH course overall you must achieve a satisfactory standard and therefore a grade of a Pass or above in both the OHT Paediatric Care and the OHT Adult Care components of the written examination. The written examination covers material from Minimal Intervention, Paedodontics, Periodontics and OHT patient management. It assesses understanding relating to theoretical aspects of Semester 1 & 2 content and addresses application of knowledge, diagnostic and management skills. The satisfactory standard for this hurdle assessment is set at a minimum 60%.

Clinical Assessment Approach
A uniform system of clinical assessment is used in all years of both BDS and BOH programs. It is based on self-assessment and it:
• gives you direct input into your clinical assessment and learning experiences
• encourages you to reflect on the learning process as a whole
• teaches you to reflect on and assess the quality of your clinical work using a standardised assessment procedure
• encourages you to learn by receiving regular feedback
• encourages you to accept responsibility for what you say and do in the clinic
• includes objective measures of clinical performance in each discipline
• helps develop life-long learning skills

Wherever possible, each session will have time allocated for you to:
• review with your tutor what you propose to do for each patient for the session
• debrief to self-assess and discuss the self-assessment with your tutor.

You need to follow up learning issues that have been raised during the assessment process by researching the relevant information or by taking steps to improve aspects of your clinical work that have been identified as requiring improvement.
You will have further opportunity for reflection and sharing experiences with peers during regular debriefing sessions.

You are required to keep and maintain detailed up-to-date information about your work in the clinic throughout the year. You will be issued with a self-assessment booklet, which you must have with you at each clinic session. In addition, you will complete a Clinical Learning Portfolio that demonstrates attainment of clinical competencies you successfully complete in pre-clinic and clinic sessions over the year. During the orientation period, you will be giving detailed information on how these evidence portfolios are to be implemented in your clinical program.

Learning can be defined as a change in understanding. Therefore it is your responsibility to demonstrate improved understanding in relation to your knowledge, skills and attitudes throughout the year. The assessment process is designed to provide you with feedback on your progress.

You will be given Clinical Assessment Criteria information (for both sem 1 and sem 2) describing specific skills criteria for the clinical procedures that you undertake in the Clinical Practice II OH course. The criteria for the assessment of Infection control, Knowledge base and Professional behaviour are common to all procedures and disciplines.
Both you and your tutor will use these standard criteria. If your assessment differs significantly from that of your tutor’s, the reason(s) should be recorded during the self-assessment process.

On completion of a clinical procedure, you are required to self-assess your work in your self-assessment booklet. You should identify strengths, areas needing improvement and strategies for improvement. You are then required to seek feedback from your tutor about your clinical performance.

It is your responsibility to seek these assessments from your tutors.

If you choose not to carry out self-assessment, your tutor will mark your performance as unsatisfactory.

Tutors will record details of student and patient attendances in the clinic and whether or not you have self-assessed your work regularly.

You need to follow up learning issues that have been raised during the assessment process by researching the relevant information or by taking steps to improve aspects of your clinical work that have been identified as requiring improvement.

Note: You should be aware that your final grade in the preclinical/clinical component of Clinical Practice II OH is not just the sum of individual assessments in your self-assessment booklet. These assessments are formative comments and provided to help you with your learning. Your final assessment will be based on an overall review of your knowledge, skills and attitudes in a clinical context. You should discuss your overall performance with your tutors and mentors throughout the year.

Further information about the practical assessment component will be given during class meetings. However, it is important to note that the final assessment for each semester is based upon the standard obtained towards the end of the assessment period. It is not based on an average of the entire semester.

Every effort will be made to help students identify areas in which difficulty is being experienced, and to provide help to remedy problems. If you are aware that you are having difficulty with any part of the course, please see one of your tutors or the stream co-ordinator.

Feedback
At the end of Semester 1, each student receives written feedback regarding the standard of performance achieved during Semester 1. During Semester 2, students will have a face-to-face discussion with their tutor about their clinic learning plans and standard of performance. At the end of Semester 2, tutors submit a final written summative assessment of the standard of performance you have achieved in Semester 2 (refer to Clinical Assessment Criteria and Standards Book).
