Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to develop an oral presentations assessment tool for postgraduate students' oral presentations.
Methods: First, a literature review and the ideas of 319 experienced professors were used to identify dimensions and potential items. Then the psychometric properties of the preliminary tool were measured using face and content validity, inter-rater agreement and test-retest reliability.
Results: The four dimensions of the developed tool were subject knowledge, delivery, content and organization, and ergonomics. Mean content validity index and content validity ratio scores were 0.93 and 0.76, respectively. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient for the two evaluation periods was 0.92. The intra-class correlation coefficient was 0.78.
Conclusion: In this study, important cognitive factors in oral presentations in the form of ergonomic dimensions were included for the first time, as part of a comprehensive tool. The developed tool has appropriate psychometric properties and could be used as a valid and applicable instrument to assess post-graduate students' oral presentations.
