Examining the dimensionality for the OSCE using Exploratory Graph Analysis

• In Event: Electronic Board Session II

Abstract

This study examined the dimensionality of the chiropractic objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE) license exam using exploratory graph analysis (EGA). Varying numbers of dimensions and low item stability from the replicate bootstrap samples were found. This may suggest the existence of complex structure and within-item multidimensional properties of OSCE exam.
