The objectives, instruction, and evaluation in a health professions course were studied by an evaluation approach which the author calls "curriculum mapping" to determine the degree of congruence among the three components. During the three years studied there were shifts in course content emphasis and yearly variations in the content tested. By the third year the objectives were no longer congruent with the instruction and test items used in evaluation. In addition, the test items were typically at lower cognitive levels than the related objectives. The application of this evaluation model may be useful to faculties in improving their courses.
作者采用一种称为“课程映射”的评估方法，对一门健康职业课程中的目标、教学和评估进行了研究，以确定这三个组成部分之间的一致程度。在研究的三年中，课程内容重点发生了变化，每年测试的内容也有所不同。到第三年，目标与评估中使用的教学和测试项目不再一致。此外，测试项目的认知水平通常低于相关目标。这种评估模式的应用可能有助于教师改进他们的课程。
