A workshop on MCQ development using cognitive model framework was conducted for health educators from Aga Khan University (AKU) and other academic institutions. The aim was to develop the skill of preparing MCQs for assessing higher cognitive levels. A pre-post study was conducted, participant satisfaction was evaluated and pre-post test scores were used to assess learning capability of the workshop participants. Out of the 19 who attended the workshop, 16 participated in the pre- and post-tests and were included in the study through convenience sampling. The total duration of the study was six months. There was a significant difference in the overall pre-post test scores of the participants with a mean difference of -4.176 ± 4.83 (p-value < 0.05). A significant difference was observed in the mean pre-post test scores of junior faculty (-6.350± 4.5829; p-value = 0.02). The mean pre-test scores of junior faculty were significantly lower 4.950±2.83 as compared to the senior faculty 10.417±1.56 (p-value= 0.001). Active participation in faculty development workshops may lead to enhancing skills for preparing one-best MCQs based on international guidelines.
为阿迦汗大学（AKU）和其他学术机构的健康教育工作者举办了一场关于使用认知模型框架开发多项选择题的研讨会。目的是培养根据国际准则准备用于评估更高认知水平的多项选择题的技能。开展了一项前后对照研究，评估了参与者的满意度，并使用前后测试分数来评估研讨会参与者的学习能力。在参加研讨会的19人中，16人参加了前后测试，并通过便利抽样纳入研究。研究总时长为六个月。参与者的整体前后测试分数存在显著差异，平均差异为-4.176±4.83（p值<0.05）。在初级教员的前后测试平均分数中观察到显著差异（-6.350±4.5829；p值=0.02）。与高级教员的10.417±1.56相比，初级教员的前测平均分数显著更低，为4.950±2.83（p值=0.001）。积极参与教员发展研讨会可能会提高根据国际准则准备最佳多项选择题的技能。
