Interrater reliability in the assessment of physiotherapy students.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reliable and objective assessment of psychomotor skills in physiotherapy students' education is essential for direct feedback and skill improvement. The aim of this study is to determine the interrater reliability in the assessment process of physiotherapy students and to analyse the assessment behaviour of the examiners.

Methods

Physiotherapy teachers from two different schools assessed students from two different schools performing proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) patterns. An evaluation sheet with a 6-point rating scale and 20 evaluation criteria including an overall rating was used for assessment. The interrater reliability was determined calculating an intraclass-correlation coefficient (ICC) and Krippendorff's alpha. The assessment behaviour o
