A series of seven workshops were conducted in 2018, at the National University of Medical Sciences and its affiliated institutes, to evaluate the effectiveness of a three-hour workshop in improving faculty competence in developing high quality test items. Participants' satisfaction was evaluated with a post-workshop feedback questionnaire. A self-made structured questionnaire was required to be filled as a pre-test and post-test assessment. Paired t-test was applied and difference in mean scores of responses was evaluated. A total of 141 faculty members were trained. The training session led to high satisfaction in all elements of workshop, significant improvements in boosting confidence in item writing skills (p=0.001), recognising parts of MCQs (p=0.001), identifying item writing flaws (p=0.001), and levels of Millers pyramid and blooms taxonomy (p=0.001). Training sessions of short duration are effective in improving faculty competence in writing high quality test items, if hands-on experience is built-in and effective feedback is provided.
2018 年，在国立医科大学及其附属医院举办了一系列七次研讨会，以评估三小时研讨会在提高教师开发高质量测试题能力方面的效果。通过研讨会后的反馈问卷评估参与者的满意度。作为预测试和后测试评估，需要填写一份自制的结构化问卷。应用配对 t 检验评估平均得分的差异。共有 141 名教师接受了培训。培训课程在研讨会的所有元素中都得到了高度的满意度，在提高对编写项目技能的信心方面有显著的提高（p=0.001），认识到多项选择题的部分（p=0.001），识别项目编写缺陷（p=0.001），以及米勒金字塔和布鲁姆分类法的水平（p=0.001）。如果包含实践经验并提供有效的反馈，短期培训课程可以有效地提高教师编写高质量测试题的能力。
