Abstract

It is important to ensure that the tools used in Medical School selection are acceptable to students and applicants. A questionnaire was administered to year 1 medical students in 2010 to determine the suitability of a variety of selection tools and the acceptability of HPAT-Ireland in particular. There were 291 respondents a 77% response rate representing approximately one third of all school leaver entrants that year. While the majority 285 (98%) were in favour of using school leaving examinations there was also support for the use of interviews 215 (74%) and other tools. Three quarters of Irish respondents 159 (76%) agreed that HPAT-Ireland is a fair test overall however section 3 (non-verbal reasoning) appeared less acceptable and relevant than other sections. A little over half had taken a preparatory HPAT-Ireland course 112 (54%). Medical school applicants appear to accept the use of non-traditional tools in the selection process.

摘要

确保医学院校选拔过程中所使用的工具为学生和申请者所接受，这一点至关重要。2010年，我们对一年级医学生进行了问卷调查，以确定各类选拔工具的适用性，特别是爱尔兰高等教育入学考试（HPAT-Ireland）的可接受性。共有291名受访者，回复率为77%，约占当年所有离校生入学人数的三分之一。虽然大多数人（285人，占98%）赞成使用离校考试，但也有215人（占74%）支持采用面试及其他工具。四分之三的爱尔兰受访者（159人，占76%）认为，总体而言，爱尔兰高等教育入学考试是一项公平的测试，然而，与其他部分相比，第3部分（非言语推理）似乎不那么容易被接受，相关性也较低。略超过半数的人（112人，占54%）参加过爱尔兰高等教育入学考试预备课程。医学院校申请者似乎接受在选拔过程中使用非传统工具。
