The purpose of this research is to evaluate whether quizzes using moodle are useful for academic achievement in a medical English class and to introduce moodle to educators based on the author's teaching experience.
After a final examination in a medical English class, the author surveyed (scale of 1 low to 5 high) the degree of satisfaction of students and the usefulness of quizzes provided on the author's homepage using moodle. Students had been recommended to solve the quizzes on the homepage voluntarily. The author analyzed statistical differences of the final examination scores between the students who completed the quizzes and those who did not.
A total of 59 students completed the survey (collection rate=81.9%). On the question of satisfaction about the medical English class and the question of usefulness of quizzes, scores of mean, maximum, and minimum were 4.29 (SD=0.56), 5, and 3, and 4.03 (SD=0.72), 5, and 2, respectively. Statistically significant differences in the final examination scores were observed between the students who completed quizzes and those who did not.
A tool for students' self-directed study is needed for improving academic achievement. In particular, various educational programs and environments provided by moodle are thought to be very useful. The quizzes the author made with moodle were very effective in the aspect of achievement.
本研究旨在评估使用Moodle进行的测验对医学英语课程学业成绩是否有用，并基于作者的教学经验向教育工作者介绍Moodle。
在医学英语课程期末考试后，作者调查了（评分范围为1低至5高）学生的满意度以及使用Moodle在作者主页上提供的测验的有用性。已建议学生自愿在主页上完成测验。作者分析了完成测验的学生和未完成测验的学生期末考试成绩的统计差异。
共有59名学生完成了调查（收集率 = 81.9%）。在关于医学英语课程满意度的问题以及测验有用性的问题上，平均分、最高分和最低分分别为4.29（标准差 = 0.56）、5和3，以及4.03（标准差 = 0.72）、5和2。在完成测验的学生和未完成测验的学生之间观察到期末考试成绩存在统计学上的显著差异。
提高学业成绩需要一种学生自主学习的工具。特别是，Moodle提供的各种教育项目和环境被认为非常有用。作者用Moodle制作的测验在成绩方面非常有效。
