Abstract Details

2014, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Athletic Training (Health Sciences and Professions).
The Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) requires the integration of the fifth edition of the Athletic Training Education Competencies (Competencies) into the academic content of professional athletic training programs. CAATE also requires athletic training programs to provide outcomes measures that evaluate all aspects of the educational program, including student learning. While assessment tools have been developed based on earlier editions of the Competencies, a tool based on the fifth edition has not yet been published. Therefore, this project sought to develop and validate a knowledge assessment tool that effectively measures the material included in the fifth edition of the Competencies. To accomplish this aim, test items based on the Competencies were reviewed by an expert panel and then given to students enrolled in professional athletic training programs. Item analysis was performed on the results to establish a test blueprint.
