Comparative investigationof the anatomy practical exam types of faculty of medicine
Özet
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate comparatively the classical tag (ring) exams with the slide exams which are preferred as the practical anatomy exams, in order to contribute the anatomical education program of Izmir Katip Çelebi University.
Methods: The results of the anatomy practical exams in last five years (2013–2014 – 2017–2018) belong to first (N1: 651) and second (N2: 785) year medical students of the Izmir Katip Çelebi University Faculty of Medicine which features an integrated curriculum, are evaluated retrospectively. All data of the students who couldn’t take any exam due to any reason, and data of the practical exams of the blocks of integrated curriculum which are not executed due to any reason are all excluded. Descriptive statistics, correlations and statistical comparisons of the tag (ring) exams and the slide exams which are the components of the integrated blocks are calculated.
Results: 29 integrated blocks were evaluated in this study. There was correlation between slide and tag (ring) exams in all integrated blocks (p<0.001). It was determined that the strongest correlation was in locomotor system block in 2017–2018 (0.779) and the weakest correlation was in circulatory and respiratory systems block in 2015–2016 (0.404). Tag exams scores were higher statistically significant (p<0.05) in 10 integrated blocks. Slide exams scores were higher statistically significant (p<0.05) in 13 integrated blocks. There was no statistically significant difference between practical exam types in 6 exams.
Conclusion: We hope the results of our study will be beneficial to studies about assessment and evaluation systems and increasing the quality of anatomy education in faculty of medicine.
