This study investigates the characteristics of different item types to assess learning outcomes and explore the educational implications that can be obtained from the results of learning outcome assessments.
Forty-five second-year premedical students participated in this study. Multiple choice question (MCQ) and short essay question (SEQ) scores and pass rates for 10 learning outcomes were analyzed. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were used to analyze the data.
The correlation analysis indicated that there was a significant correlation between SEQs and pass rate but there was no significant correlation between MCQs and pass rate. Some students with identical scores on the MCQs had different scores on the SEQs or on the learning outcomes.
This study showed that students' achievement of learning outcomes can be assessed using various types of questions in outcome-based education.
本研究旨在探讨不同题型的特点,以评估学习成果,并从学习成果评估结果中探索可获得的教育意义。
本研究共有 45 名二年级医学生参与。分析了 10 项学习成果的多项选择题(MCQ)和短文问答题(SEQ)分数和通过率。采用描述性统计和相关分析对数据进行分析。
相关分析表明,SEQ 与通过率之间存在显著相关性,而 MCQ 与通过率之间不存在显著相关性。一些 MCQ 得分相同的学生在 SEQ 或学习成果上的得分不同。
本研究表明,基于成果的教育可以使用各种类型的问题来评估学生的学习成果。
