Abstract  Introduction: Assessment is an integral part of the total evaluation process. Methods of assessment of students’ ability are various. Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQ) have been widely used for summative assessment and they stimulate students to make a superficial and exam  oriented study. Patient Management Problem(PMP)exams expose the students to a situation  similar to real life ...

the purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between psychoticism and self-awarencess, slef – acceptance, and gender in normal subjets and to determine the validity of self-rating questionnaire in relation to eysenck's psychoticism scale. (it was hypothesized that such relationships do not exist to a significant degree between these variables). a group of 72 counselling and...

Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection is the leading infectious cause of congenital hearing loss and neurodevelopmental disability. This study aimed to describe prevalence clinical manifestations infants age 12 months below with CMV in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (Hospital USM) determine correlation between PCR outcomes. A total 648 hospitalized clinically suspected cases admitted ...

Reliability data point to rather high test-retest correlations (greater than or equal to 0.65) for VHF data with four- and five-letter words as stimuli, but replicate previous findings that the first test score correlates poorly with later test scores. The same results are obtained for accuracy and latency data, though small differences exist. All laterality indices lead to the same conclusions...

Previous research assessed pain interference among student pharmacists, however, the reliability and validity of instruments used to obtain this data is unknown. This study a instrument administered pharmacists at one United States college pharmacy. The previously five-item scale (items included: how much interferes with daily activities, leisure work, school, relationships) was using classical...

This study aims to analyze the item characteristics of mathematics problem-solving ability test instrument using Classical Test Theory model. The data collection was based on results documentation as many 359 students with dichotomous data. Qualitative validation analysis by experts uses panel method, and quantitative Aiken index Content Validity Ratio (CVR), while biserial point correlation. r...

The intent of a binomial effect size display (BESD) is to show "the [real-world] importance of [an] effect indexed by a correlation [r]" (R. Rosenthal, 1994, p. 242) by reexpressing this correlation as a success rate difference (SRD) (e.g., treatment group success rate-control group success rate). However, SRDs displayed in BESDs generally overestimate real-world SRDs implied by correlations of...
