As part of a study on competence-based assessment, students of the University of Veterinary Medicine, Hannover (TiHo), were asked to fill in an online questionnaire regarding their exam preparation and common examination formats. The aim of this investigation was to attain the students' opinion on different exam formats as well as the intensity and method of their preparation in order to further improve and develop the assessment formats.
PARTICIPANTS, MATERIAL AND METHODS: Data was collected using an online questionnaire developed in LimeSurvey (LimeSurvey GmbH, Hamburg, Germany) which included 29 questions and 3 follow-up questions. A link to the questionnaire was sent to all veterinary students at the TiHo by e-mail.
A total of 215 questionnaires were completed and entered the evaluation. It was shown that the duration of the exam preparation depended on the specific exam format. Students' preparation time for an oral exam was longer than for a written-electronic exam. In the students' view, the assessment contents of oral examinations appeared to be more "relevant for later professional life". Electronic exams, on the other hand, were perceived as being more "fair" and less stressful. 30.3 % of respondents indicated to be suffering from test anxiety.
Based on these findings, new recommendations for the development of teaching/learning materials may be derived. The opinions of students collected in this investigation provide an up-to-date insight into their perception of examinations. These results may serve as a valuable contribution to the optimization of examination scenarios in veterinary education. In addition, such surveys contribute to university-wide quality management of the examination systems.
作为一项基于能力评估研究的一部分，汉诺威兽医学院（TiHo）的学生被要求填写一份关于考试准备和常见考试形式的在线问卷。这项调查的目的是了解学生对不同考试形式的看法以及他们准备考试的强度和方法，以便进一步改进和完善评估形式。
参与者、材料与方法：使用在LimeSurvey（德国汉堡的LimeSurvey GmbH公司）开发的在线问卷收集数据，该问卷包含29个问题和3个后续问题。问卷链接通过电子邮件发送给TiHo的所有兽医专业学生。
共完成215份问卷并进入评估阶段。结果表明，考试准备的时长取决于具体的考试形式。学生准备口试的时间比准备笔试-电子考试的时间长。在学生看来，口试的评估内容似乎更“与未来职业生涯相关”。另一方面，电子考试被认为更“公平”且压力更小。30.3%的受访者表示存在考试焦虑。
基于这些发现，可以得出关于教学/学习材料开发的新建议。本次调查收集的学生意见提供了他们对考试看法的最新见解。这些结果可能对优化兽医教育中的考试场景做出宝贵贡献。此外，此类调查有助于大学范围内考试系统的质量管理。
