Abstract (English):	Introduction: The Objective Structured Clinical Evaluation (OSCE) is an instrument that allows evaluating clinical reasoning among physical therapy students, considering that knowing the correlation between their performance and their self-evaluation, as well as their level of satisfaction with this instrument, is essential. Objectives: To determine the correlation between performance and self-evaluation (perceived performance) of physical therapy students in an OSCE designed to assess clinical reasoning, and to evaluate their level of satisfaction with this instrument. Materials and methods: Analytical cross-sectional study conducted in 159 physical therapy students from a university in Chile who participated in an 11-station OSCE. Performance checklists and answer sheets were used for performance evaluation (passing score: 70% of the maximum score per station and in the OSCE). Two perception surveys were also used, one for self-evaluation of performance (for each station) and another to determine the students’ level of satisfaction with the OSCE. The correlation between performance in the OSCE (overall score, score by station, and score by type of station) and perceived performance was determined using the Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Results: The level of satisfaction with the OSCE was high in 57.23% of the students. The correlation between the total score in the OSCE and perceived performance was significant, but weak (Rho=0.31; p<0.001). In students with a low satisfaction level with the OSCE, the correlation between performance and perceived performance was not significant (Rho=0.15; p=0.23), while in those with high satisfaction level it was significant and moderate (Rho=0.48; p<0.001). Conclusions: Most students reported a high level of satisfaction with the OSCE. However, in most stations, the correlation between observed and perceived performance was weak and very weak.

Abstract (Spanish):	Introducción. La Evaluación Clínica Objetiva Estructurada (ECOE) es un instrumento que permite evaluar el razonamiento clínico en estudiantes de fisioterapia, por lo que saber la correlación entre su desempeño y su autoevaluación, así como su nivel de satisfacción con esta herramienta, es esencial. Objetivos. Determinar la correlación entre el desempeño y la autoevaluación (desempeño percibido) de estudiantes de fisioterapia en una ECOE diseñada para evaluar el razonamiento clínico, y evaluar su nivel de satisfacción con esta herramienta. Materiales y métodos. Estudio transversal analítico realizado en 159 estudiantes de fisioterapia de una universidad de Chile que participaron en una ECOE de 11 estaciones. Se utilizaron listas de verificación de desempeño y hojas de respuesta para la evaluación del desempeño (nota aprobatoria: 70% de la nota máxima por estación y de la ECOE) y 2 encuestas de percepción, una para la autoevaluación del desempeño (para cada estación) y otra para determinar el nivel de satisfacción de los estudiantes con la ECOE. La correlación entre el desempeño en la ECOE (puntuación global, por estaciones y por tipo de estación) y el desempeño percibido (autoevaluación) se determinó mediante el coeficiente de correlación de Spearman. Resultados. El nivel de satisfacción con la ECOE fue alto en el 57.23% de los estudiantes. La correlación entre el puntaje total en la ECOE y el desempeño percibido fue significativa, pero débil (Rho=0.31; p<0.001). En estudiantes con nivel de satisfacción bajo, la correlación entre el desempeño y el desempeño percibido no fue significativa (Rho=0.15; p=0.23), mientras que en aquellos con un nivel de satisfacción alto fue significativa y moderada (Rho=0.48; p<0.001). Conclusiones. La mayoría de los estudiantes manifestaron tener un alto nivel de satisfacción con la ECOE. Sin embargo, en la mayoría de las estaciones la correlación entre el desempeño observado y el percibido fue débil y muy débil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
