This document discusses checklists as an instrument for performance evaluation. It provides definitions of checklists, characteristics of effective checklists, and guidelines for constructing checklists. Checklists enable observers to note whether traits are present or absent, and consist of lists of steps, activities, or behaviors to record when incidents occur. They allow for inter-individual comparisons and provide a simple method for recording observations. However, checklists only indicate whether attributes are present or absent and have limited use for qualitative observations.

4. OBSERVATION CHECKLIST
◦It is the most commonly used instrument for performance
evaluation.
◦A checklist enables the observer to note to only whether a trait
is present or not.
◦If consist of a listening of steps, activities or behaviours the
observer records when an incident occurs.
◦The observer has to judge a certain behaviour has taken place.

5. DEFINITIONOFCHECKLIST
◦A checklist is a simple instrument consisting prepared list of
expected items of performance or attributes which are checked
by an evaluator for the presence or absence.
◦Checklist are constructed by breaking a performance and
quality of a product, which specifies the presence or absence
of an attribute or trait which is then ‘checked’ by the traitor or
observer.

6. CHARACTERISTICSOFCHECKLIST
◦Observe one respondent at one time
◦Clearly specify the characteristics of the behaviour to the observer
◦Use only carefully prepared checklists to avoid more complex traits.
◦The observer should be trained how to observe, how to record the
observed behaviour.
◦Use checklist only when you are interested in calculating in particular
characteristics

7. CONSTRUCTIONOF ACHECKLIST
◦Express each item in clear, simple language.
◦The type of checklist to be used in particular assessment/
evaluation
◦The list of items in the checklist may be continuous or divided
into groups of related items.
◦These lists of the items are formulated on the basis of the
judgement of experts and each item is evaluated with respect
to the number of favourable and unfavourable responses.

8. ◦Avoid negative statement whenever possible.
◦Avoid lifting statements verbatim from the text.
◦Ensure that each item has a clear response: yes or no,
true or false.
◦Review the items independently.
◦Checklists must have a quality of completeness and
comprehensiveness.

9. ADVANTAGESOFCHECKLIST
A checklist allows inter individual comparisons.
They provide a simple method to record observations.
They are adaptable to subject matter areas.
It is useful in evaluating learning activities expected to be performed.
They are helpful in evaluating procedure work.
Properly prepared checklists allow the observer to constrains the direct
attention.
Checklist have objectively to evaluate the characteristics.
Decreases the chances of errors in observation

10. DISADVANTAGESOFCHECKLIST
Checklist don’t indicate quality of performance so the usefulness of
checklists is limited.
Only a limited component of overall clinical performance can be
evaluated.
Only the presence or absence of an attribute, behaviour or
performance or parameter may be assured.
It has limited use in qualitative observations.
Checklist are not easy to prepare.
