Abstract:

Posters have been used for over 30 years at scientific meetings, and their use is growing. While they have become a major form of communication at scientific meetings, science fairs and classrooms, few instruments exist to evaluate posters and little has been done to assess the reliability of existing instruments. The objective of this work was to evaluate an instrument and describe the components of a well-designed poster. The instrument separates the components of a poster into the Visual and Content components. Using this instrument, the instructor could use as few as three evaluators to construct a reliable evaluation. Only six evaluators would be needed for a high degree of reliability.

 

Keywords:
