Exercise
Reflect for a moment and write downassessment instruments that youknow and how they influence yourlearning!Remember difference between method and
instrument:Method of travel = by land, sea, air…Instrument of travel = train, bus, ship,
plane…

Validity
Proper assessment instrument?– Thermometer -> Temperature– Thermometer x-> Weight– MCQ -> Know & understand
– MCQ x-> Show, demonstrate, do
assessment units
• Content (=direct) validity– Relevance?– Representative?– Subjective!
• Construct (=indirect) validity– Test result -> Competence?
assessment units
Reliability
Test-retest reliability• Equivalent forms reliability• Split-half reliability• Scorer/rater reliability
– Inter- vs. intrarater reliability
assessment units
Factors in clinical skills assessment that lead to lower reliability
Two few stations or too little testing timeCheck list that do not discriminate (too
easy or too hard)Unreliable patients or inconsistent role
playersIdiosyncratic examinersAdministration problems
assessment units
Engaging with data
Write down some observationsabout the data. What do you see?
2. Suggest explanations (hypotheses)for the data.3. How would you test the hypotheses?
assessment units
Feasibility
Cost in terms of resources and time of Construction
• Marking• Organisation• Quality feedback
assessment units
Utility
• U = Utility• R = Reliability• V = Validity• E = Educational impact• A = Acceptability• C = Cost

How to construct MCQs
State the question positively Construct options that are grammatically
consistent with the item. Do not use MCQs when other instruments
are more appropriate.
assessment units
Multiple choice questions- principles(rules) The question itself or the stem must be
appropriate Have one correct response to the
question Distracters or the incorrect responses
among the choices should be plausible

MCQ
Multiple Choice Questions are used to tests students’ factual knowledge and to some extent the critical thinking of students. An attempt is made to test higher levels of Bloom’s taxonomy and not mere recall of facts.
Integratory

2. Tissue Processing in Histology is the most critical stage in entire processes that go on in a Histology lab. Which of the following will determine the processing procedure?Urgent diagnosis The element to be demonstrated The materials availableThe skills involvedThe size of tissue for examination
assessment units
MEQ
Modified Essay Questions will be used to assess the students’ ability to integrate facts and problem solving skills, which are fundamental to good practice. Question requiring consolidation of facts and critical thinking will be asked.
assessment units
1. A tissue section was found to be having a brown colour that was intracellular upon staining with H/E staining technique. The pigment was found to be soluble in alcoholic picric acid.
assessment units
Possible scenarios
i. What is the possible name of this pigment?
ii. What features enabled you to identify the pigment?
iii. What class would this pigment fall into?Assuming the pigment was not soluble in
alcoholic acid picric acid, how would this affect your identification
assessment units
Formatively as learning tool to stimulate
discussion and top plan future development
Can be used to stimulate and provide feedback – may be every three months what is going , intriguing / exciting ,worrying phenomenon.
assessment units
What can MEQ measure ? MEQ can be used as a formal assessment
technique It can be used as an aid to learning. It can be used as an adjunct to a lecture. It presents good questions for group
discussion. It can be used as a self-instruction method.It can be used as a self-audit device.
assessment units
Construction of MEQ
Drawing up a draft of the subject area. Circulating the draft to a team of fellow
professionals to study it. Each of the professional colleagues should be
asked to provide the answer to each of the questions.
These responses should be studied and forms the basis for model answers.
The marks should be allocated according to consensus decisions
assessment units
PATIENT MANAGEMENT PROBLEM (PMP)
Patient management problem (PMP) consists of short questions that require also short answers that revolve around managing a patient. They are intended to equip the student with knowledge, skills and attitude that are necessary in professional practice.
The main feature is that a series of questions are asked about a case and options are provided that leads to proper management of the patient. It tests students on a wide range of subjects.
assessment units
What PMP can assess
Like the MEQ, PMP provides the opportunity for students to demonstrate their ability in patient management skills and problem solving skills in a variety of scenario.
The students are presented with simulated patients, real patient or imaginary patient in a paper and pencil format. The unfolding scenario is presented logically and the student is evaluated on the basis of the proper steps taken leading to the proper management of the patient.
assessment units
Constructing a PMP
Constructing a PMP begins with a description of the symptoms of the patient and the resources that are available. The student is presented with the problem followed by a series of questions relating to management, diagnosis and investigations. Each question has a number of options from which the student must select. Beside each option are hidden instructions about how the student should proceed.
assessment units
Steps in constructing PMP
Clearly define what it is you wish to test in the problem. Set realistic objectives for the group you are testing.
Select a problem that is meaningful and suitable.
Ensure that the sequence of management is logical.
Prepare the opening scene. This should compose of: the actual setting for the case, the presenting features of the patient, and the role of the user, the resources available and clear instructions.
assessment units
Steps continue
Prepare a list of clinical choices which are consistent with the problem.
Pretest the PMP using a group of subject experts. Also try it out with one or two potential candidates.
Score the PMP. Allocate a mark for each individual choice on the PMP.
