The Use of Paired Comparisons for Developing Criteria for the Observation of Student Clinical Performance.

Rippey, Robert M.; Krutchkoff, David J.

Evaluation and the Health Professions, v7 n4 p455-60 Dec 1984

The method of paired comparisons was used to rank 42 dental students on their performance in emergency and screening clinic rotations. Results suggest this methodology may provide more internally consistent student assessments on more subtle aspects of clinical performance than those assessed by multiple-choice tests or written performance ratings.
