A number of studies have shown the impact of attending the classes during the session on examination results of students. Students with good lecture attendance show good results while those with poor lecture attendance are at risk for poor performance in the examinations. In this study we wanted to test this in students of basic medical sciences in our set up.
All the students in Basic Medical Sciences of Gomal Medical College, D.I. Khan, Pakistan, during the session 1999-2000 were enrolled for this study. Performance of these students in one of their three annual term tests, which covered duration of studies for four months, from February 2000 to May 2000, was analyzed. Students were grouped into two, Group-A with > or = 75% attendance and Group-B with < 75% attendance. The frequency of failure in the two groups was compared using the chi square test.
Results of the term test showed that the percentage of failure in students of Group-B with less than 75%, attendance was significantly higher when compared to Group-A with equal or more than 75% attendance.
Our results supported the previous studies showing that attendance in the classes during teaching sessions had a direct impact on performance of students in the examinations. Students with good attendance show good results while those with poor attendance are at risk for poor performance during examinations in basic medical sciences.
多项研究表明上课出勤情况对学生考试成绩有影响。上课出勤率高的学生成绩较好，而出勤率低的学生在考试中成绩不佳的风险较大。在本研究中，我们想在本校基础医学专业的学生中验证这一点。
本研究纳入了巴基斯坦德拉伊斯梅尔汗戈马尔医学院1999 - 2000学年基础医学专业的所有学生。分析了这些学生在2000年2月至2000年5月为期四个月学习期间的三次年度学期测试之一中的表现。学生被分为两组，A组出勤率≥75%，B组出勤率<75%。使用卡方检验比较两组的不及格频率。
学期测试结果显示，出勤率低于75%的B组学生不及格率明显高于出勤率等于或高于75%的A组。
我们的结果支持了先前的研究，表明教学期间的上课出勤情况对学生考试成绩有直接影响。出勤率高的学生成绩较好，而出勤率低的学生在基础医学考试中成绩不佳的风险较大。
