Abstract:Background
MCQs are commonly used to assess theoretical knowledge efficiently. High-quality MCQs have high Cronbach's alpha values and strong item analysis scores, linked to effective assessment. We hypothesized that using a standardized self-evaluation checklist by faculty can improve the MCQ-quality index.
Method
A quasi-experimental study was conducted with the faculty of basic medical sciences to assess the impact of self-evaluation, using a checklist as an interventional tool on MCQ quality. A predesign… Show more
