“…Thus, the Number of Items included in each question paper ranged from 11 to 22. This distribution is similar to the analysis published in papers of other subjects like microbiology, Pharmacology, anatomy, Physiology etc (Aggarwal & Agarwal , 2017;Ayub et al, 2013;Bhattacharya et al, 2017;Choudhary et al, 2012;Chowdhury et al, 2017;Mehta & Kikani, 2019;Pichholiya et al, 2021).…”

Introduction: Summative assessments play a major role in shaping the student’s learning. There is little literature available on validity of summative assessment question papers in Forensic Medicine & Toxicology. This study analyses 30 question papers from 6 reputed universities for content validity. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional record-based observational study was conducted where 30 university summative question papers in Forensic Medicine & Toxicology from 6 universities across India were evaluated for content validity. The learning domain assessed, the type of questions asked, and sampling of the content was compared and presented in the results. Results: From the results of the study, it was noted that 80% weightage was allotted to recall in most papers and only one paper tested for application. 70 to 80% of the marks were allotted to Forensic Pathology leading to disproportionate sampling. Core areas in Toxicology and Medical Jurisprudence were sparsely assessed. Conclusion: The content validity of the summative question papers in Forensic Medicine and Toxicology was unsatisfactory, emphasising the need for evaluation of the clarity and efficacy of the blueprints being used by the universities. Faculty training to motivate and influence a change in the mindset is necessary to bring about a course correction.

“…Unlike the syllabus, a statement of plans for a part of the curriculum excluding the elements of curriculum evaluation itself, a blueprint is defined as a plan that the teacher makes to be transformed into a reality of classroom interactions (Sabbah, 2018). In simple terms, blueprints link assessment with learning objectives (Pichholiya, Yadav, Gupta, Kamlekar, & Singh, 2021). Blueprints are also used to examine the weaknesses of existing materials as a basis for designing new materials (Mahardika, 2018;Patil, Hashilkar, & Hungund, 2014).…”

The objective is to describe the designe d blueprint set for a web-based English Writing course for nursing students in Indonesia. The blueprint consists of designs of learning approach, performance goals, learning tasks and feedback, instructional strategies, and web design modules and interface. The descriptive statistics were used to test 37 items scored by experts of ESP and Writing about the blueprint.
