Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
Assessment is an important component in educational spiral. The students feedback regarding assessment is needed as a quality indicator. Conventional written assessment methods carry an element of subjective bias. To overcome this, objectivising the assessment methods by adopting multiple choice questions (MCQ) are needed. Present study intends to analyze the perception of MBBS students on assessment tests. After obtaining Institutional Ethical Committee Clearance, we commenced our study with 145 Pre-final MBBS students. Feedback questionnaire were distributed and collected back from them. In conclusion, 96 students (64%) preferred MCQs better than descriptive writing and 92 students(63.4%) preferred a combination of both descriptive and MCQ test. Applying MCQs can be used along with conventional pattern of test as an adjunct to assessment of MBBS students.
