Preparation for the OSCE Assessment

Author(s):

The need to prepare adequately for any university examination is beyond refute and students may struggle with the OSCE assessment if they are unprepared or have unrealistic expectations of the OSCE process (Bloomfield et al. 2010). Adequate preparation will enable you to: ● Minimize any anxiety related to the examination, ● Understand the requirements of the OSCE, ● Facilitate accurate, systematic and timely performance of the OSCE, ● Enable you to give full justice to your professional ability…. OSCEs represent an important opportunity for you to further develop your nursing knowledge and skills. Effective preparation will give you a better opportunity to learn effectively from your OSCE and enable you to view the experience positively (see Chapter 14 Reflecting upon your OSCE). Preparation for your OSCE will clearly be affected by your own learning style and where and how you study is likely to be adapted to suit your own learning needs. You may well have completed a learning style assessment quiz such as Honey and Mumford’s (1986) at university; if not, you are able to access this online. It may be best to link your study for your OSCE to your learning style. Honey and Mumford (1986) identified several differing learning styles that are briefly described here. These include: ● Reflector: Tend to explore issues in depth before reaching a decision, ● Theorist: Logical and enjoy researching and using theory to enable understanding, ● Pragmatist: Like to apply things in practice and experiment with new ideas, ● Activists: Are open to new ideas and learn through experience alongside others. Therefore you can use your understanding of your learning style to help plan how you may best revise/prepare for your OSCE. For example: ● Activist: May prepare best by practising for your OSCE with your colleagues and practising your OSCE in the skills room or in a group outside of university. ● Reflector: May learn best by reviewing your own experience or learning from reflecting on experiences you have had in clinical practice. ● Theorist: May prepare by reviewing the literature and reading around the subject matter of your OSCE in appropriate literature, OSCE and clinical skills books.

This study aims to find out the relationship between learning style and students’ knowledge aspect on Computer System Subject at SMK IT Rahmatan Karimah of  Central Bengkulu, the type of research is quantitative and the subject of research is grade X in SMK IT Rahmatan Karimah of  Central Bengkulu. Data collection techniques using observation, Questionnaire and documentation. Data analysis techniques used were Descriptive Analysis, and inferential Statistical Analysis. The results of visual learning style post-test were 11 people with a mean of 76.36, an auditory learning style of 8 people at a mean of 62.14, a kinesthetic learning style of 3 people at a mean of 50.33, apart from that (r x y = 2.35) and the magnitude of r is reflected in the table (r table = 0.4132). Then rxy > r table ie = 2.35> 0.4132. In other words, Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. It has a significant relationship between the learning styles of students and students’ knowledge aspect on Computer System Subject of grade X TKJ in SMK IT Rahmatan Karimah of  Central Bengkulu

<strong></strong><p>Students who enter higher education have diverse learning needs, andhigher education institutions need to provide for these needs. One way of dealing with this variety of learning needs is to empower students to play an active role in their own learning, by making them aware of their learning styles.  Identifying learning styles is an important facet within the learning process. Assessing learning styles could provide students with an opportunity to be reflective, and interrogate how they learn. Students’ learning styles can be assessed by using a learning styles assessment tool. The Innovative Learning Experiences (ILE) which was developed in this study, caters for the students` voice where students reflect on their past and present learning experiences. </p><br /><strong> </strong>

This study was intended to develop Engklek Game using learning style approach as a media to teach English vocabulary for 4th grade students of SD Muhammadiyah Kauman Yogyakarta in academic year 2015/2016.The subject of the research was 4th grade students of SD Muhammadiyah Kauman Yogyakarta in academic year 2015/2016. The data of students’ needs and learning style was collected by the researcher by giving questionnaire, doing interviews and doing observations. The result of the data then was used to become considerations in developing Engklek Game. Then, the prototype of the product was evaluated by experts. There were English teacher as the expert in ELT and lecture of Elementary Education Department as the expert in learning styles. In order to find the effectiveness of Engklek Game, the implementation was done by giving pre-test, treatment and post-test to students. The data was calculated by using SPSS 16.00. After the implementation, the researcher did evaluation by analyzing the students’ responses to the media.The result of the evaluation done by the experts of ELT and learning styles showed that Engklek Game is suitable to be used as media to teach English vocabulary for 4th grade students of SD Muhammadiyah Kauman Yogyakarta in academic year 2015/2016. In other side, after the result of pre test and post test had been calculated, it can be seen that there was a significant enhancement of students in learning English vocabulary after taught using Engklek Game. While based on students’ response, it can be concluded that Engklek Game is appropriate to be used.

This chapter presents the development of a mobile application through the use of intelligent systems adapted to learning styles in accordance to the models of Feder-Silverman and Kolb. This development takes place in a Java programming language within the Android Studio development environment, which at the same time uses the SQLite mobile data base. The mobile application allowed the authors to identify the learning styles of students from the Mechatronics Engineering academic program that show some sort of educational backwardness in the subject of differential calculus. It was found that, according to the Felder-Silverman model, the style that predominates among students is the auditory style, while in accordance to the Kolb model, it was identified that the reflective style was the most common learning style amongst mechatronics students. It is concluded that through the use of this mobile application, students are able to identify the learning style, predict, and apply appropriate learning techniques to their learning style.

This study was conducted, first, analyzed to determine the learning styles of students excel in Mathematics and Science subjects in class XI SMAN 1 and MAN 1 Yogyakarta by applying the theory of David Kolb's learning style. Second, to predict the differences and similarities of learning styles of students achievement in learning Mathematics Class XI SMAN 1 and MAN 1 Yogyakarta. 18 research subjects were drawn from students of class XI. Determining the subject of research is done by using purposive sampling technique that refers to the result of the average value of UTS Mathematics which is the third highest of any class. The results showed that: (1). Students' learning styles achievement in Mathematics and Science subjects in class XI SMA N 1 and MAN 1 Yogyakarta is varied. This is evidenced by the results if the data obtained show that the student has a unique learning style of each and likely to lead to the individual's personality. Based on the analysis of student learning styles achievement shows that students SMA N 1 Yogyakarta been the subject of much research as 4 students have a learning style Assimilator, 3 students have learning styles Konverger, one student has a learning style Akomodator and one student has a learning style Diverger again. While students perform at MAN 1 Yogyakarta who is the subject of research, as many as four people have Akomodator learning styles, each two students have learning styles Assimilator and Diverger, then one student again has a learning style Konverger. (2). Differences in learning styles that happens is the individual habits that become unique to them. Students perform at SMA N 1 Yogyakarta dominates the Assimilator learning styles, while students of MAN 1 Yogyakarta dominates the Akomodator learning styles.
