Evaluation of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) as an Assessment Method for Medical Students

Students need to write a 3575 words assignment about the following topic: “Evaluation of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) as an Assessment Method for Medical Students”.

The purpose of the assignment is: To evaluate Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) as an assessment method for medical students.

In order to do so, students are required to write down four Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) that are related to their specialty (pediatric surgeon cardiologist). And then to critically review and appraise their own MCQs questions in light of the following assessment concepts:
(Reliability, Validity, Objectivity, Feasibility, Educational value, Transparency, Sufficiency, Authenticity, Blueprinting, and Standard Setting).

The following points need to be clearly addressed in the assignment:

– Students need to briefly discuss the previous assessment concepts from relevant academic literature and then to explore them in the context of their written MCQs.

– The previous assessment concepts should be clearly and adequately related to either the practice of the student or the writing of the MCQs within this assignment.

– Critique MCQs in general (pros and cons) and then critique the MCQs you have written yourself with reference to your own practice and assessment literature. You are here expected to perform two tasks; 1) critically appraise the literature about MCQs and 2) write some reflections from your practice that is informed by the evidence on how you have created those Four MCQs to examine your medical students. Students are expected to present some arguments as to why the MCQs might or might not be objective, valid, reliable, feasible, transparent, sufficient…etc
