摘要:

A study was carried out to obtain the view points of 186 graduate students regarding formative examination, it's frequency, weightage in certifying examination, feedback about progress made or lack of it and the planning of learning activities. Majority of students were of the opinion that the class tests and tutorials should be conducted frequently and sufficient weightage of formative examinations should be given in the certifying examination. They were able to get feed back and plan out the learning activities accordingly.The performance in both theory and practicals of formative and certifying examinations in Pharmacology was analyzed. The average percentage marks secured by the students in both theory and practical of the certifying examination were higher than those secured in the formative examination. However, the reliability of theory examinations was more than the practical examinations. A positive correlation was observed between the marks of formative and certifying examination between theory as well as of practicals. The Pearson's Correlation CoefficientΓwas +0.932 and +0.715 while Spearman's rank order Coefficientρwas +0.792 and +0.649 for theory and practicals respectively suggesting positive and strong correlation.

摘要:

Multiple choice questions of the true/false type are widely used in medical education. Evidence is given which suggests that they only tap a low level of intellectual skill. By using them in a slightly different manner it is suggested that they could be ideal techniques for measuring concept mastery. Some of the consequences of this idea are discussed.

摘要:

Learning contracts can be a useful learning and evaluation tool within a clinical setting provided the supervisor shafts their role from one of imparter of knowledge to facilitator of learning. If this role is not assumed then a student's learning experience could be jeopardized. In a survey of 59 student supervisors, 90 percent found the learning contract to be a useful evaluation and teaching tool. Advantages stated suggest that the learning contract promotes negotiation between student and teacher, provides a flexible learning environment and promotes acquisition of self-directed learning skills. These qualities are important in a clinical or practical setting where learning experiences cannot be standardized.

摘要:

This paper describes a flexible and enjoyable learning game and summarizes our experiences of using it (including the medical students' own evaluation of the game). The description is sufficiently detailed to encourage readers to reproduce and adapt the game to fit their own requirements.

摘要:

An opinion survey of a five-year postgraduate training programme in general surgery was conducted using a questionnaire. The residents who responded indicated that the use of learning objectives needed to be given greater emphasis. They felt that learning objectives should be more clearly defined and be communicated with the learners and the instructors at an early stage in the programme. While the opportunity for learning theoretical concepts in surgery was rated as a strong feature of the programme, learning practical skills, it was pointed out, needed augmenting.

摘要:

The purpose of this study was to conduct a longitudinal evaluation of a university primary care (PC) medical residency programme and use the results to plan for future curriculum development. Overall performance and the ambulatory medical care of three consecutive resident cohorts training from 1982 to 1987 was assessed by attending physicians. PC residents' performance in ambulatory continuity practice was also compared to that of traditional residents' performance in 1985–86. The scoring profile of primary care attendings was compared to that of other attendings. Residents received lowest scores in diagnostic evaluation, leadership and administration. Their best evaluations were in medical care, personal attributes and communication. Two of the three primary care cohorts received lower medical care scores in ambulatory continuity practice compared to other rotations, but had higher overall scores in ambulatory continuity practice than did traditional residents in 1985–86. Primary care attendings gave lower scores to primary care residents than did other faculty.

摘要:

The General Professional Education of the Physician (GPEP) Report (1984) recommended a major re-examination of the clinical clerkship, so that medical students could master the basic skills of medicine before graduation. These include clinical observation, interviewing, physical examination, and problem-solving skills. This essay discusses the teaching approach of one attending physician during the third year ward clerkship in pediatrics. It describes how many of the goals of clinical medical education can be accomplished during the clerkship in a practical, realistic way. It is the only description about what happens during the teaching sessions of a clinical clerkship on a day by day basis in the medical literature. This approach may serve as a model for clinical teachers of medicine in the organization and planning of the clerkship experience.

We wished to see if advice, based on the result of incourse assessment, affected performance in the final medical examination.
