‘Knowledge testing at your fingertips’

A Workshop to better design MCQs Knowledge is the cornerstone of clinical competency and effective assessment of students’ knowledge is a core part of medical schools’ assessment strategies.  This highly interactive workshop will begin with focus on the essential skills of good item writing using Single Best Answer (SBA) formats and constructing and reviewing authentic SBAs to test clinical practice.  The second part of this workshop will use a Masterclass approach to current best practice in writing ‘difficult’ test items, analysing quality and interpreting item level psychometrics, concluding with an overview of future approaches to knowledge testing including very short answer formats, adaptive and open book methods.   Morning session: Essentials of Knowledge Testing – writing and reviewing good quality SBA items   Afternoon session: Knowledge Test Masterclass – developing SBAs by the introduction of media and clinical material, reviewing and improving SBA items in ‘difficult’ areas of practice (participants will be expected to submit draft questions for discussion and development), interpreting item level quality metrics and overview of future testing
A elaboração de um Teste de Escolha Múltipla é uma tarefa extremamente difícil, muitas vezes com resultados imprevisíveis. Sabendo da dificuldade da elaboração técnica das questões para que um teste desta natureza seja válido, fiável e exequível achou o DEM que seria útil organizar um workshop convidando um perito mundial com grande experiência nesta área, nomeadamente o Prof. Richard Fuller da University of Leeds. Vimos deste modo convida-lo a estar presente  no ‘Workshop on MCQ design - Knowledge testing at your fingertips’ A simple guide to item level post-hoc analysis will enable faculty to 'diagnose' whether items have performed successfully in an assessment and explore 'treatments' to understand and enhance poorly performing items.  The workshop will finish with a brief future gaze on emerging test formats such as adaptive test, very short answer questions and open book formats. O workshop vai ter lugar no dia 16 de Novembro (quinta-feira) no Anfiteatro Cid dos Santos das 10.00 às 16.30 horas. Se for do seu interesse, por favor inscreva-se assim que possível enviando um e-mail para o DEM (dem@medicina.ulisboa.pt)  dado que as inscrições são limitadas a 30 participantes.
