Establishing high quality teaching materials with unstructured assessments

Abstract

This study addressed whether the results from the Unstructured Assessments (UA) which were fulfilled the following four conditions could be judged to be the UA results with high quality dependability. The following four conditions were considered to make the UA results highly dependable: 1) A third party could share an evaluator's tacit assumptions, 2) Presented realities which were obtained from interviews and observations should show changes through occupational performances, 3) Sentences should be expressed with less omissions and clear concepts and 4) UA results should be focused on an occupational competency and also they were rational and clear. As a result, it was found that occupational therapists judged the UA results which were fulfilled the four conditions to be the UA results with high dependability hence occupational therapists didn't judge the UA results which were not fulfilled the four conditions to be the UA results with high dependability. It was suggested that the UA results which were fulfilled the four conditions could be used as teaching materials to learn high quality UA results, therefore, educators could exercise educational interventions toward learners with the considerations of this study's results.
