Abstract

Introduction: Tests are used to assess the university student's knowledge in a specific subject. The aim of testing is to assess the learners level of acquisition (learning) of a previously taught subject. Since tests are methods of evaluating education, their evaluation ability must be in accordance with educational activities. One of the appropriate methods used for measuring the effectiveness of a test is item analysis which was used in the present study.Methods; In this study, physiopathology tests in internal medicine, surgery , Gynecology and Pediatric blocks, were assessed, during 1999-2000. After the collection of data, the students were divided into 2 groups of low and high levels. Difficulty index, discrimination index, mean, standard deviation, high and low scores, validity and reliability of tests were computed. It is necessary to mention that the students left behind from the schedule were excluded from the study due to their small number. Results: The results of the difficulty index in different physiopathology blocks in the year 1999 showed that in metabolism and endocrinology, the percentage of extremely difficult test questions was higher than other blocks (12.2%) and the mean score in this block was 6.30. This can be due to the complexity of the questions, questions chosen out of the textbook and inadequate knowledge (control) of the students about the subject. In a survey of obstetrics and Gynecology, Gastroenterology, Cardiology and Infectious diseases blocks in 1999, cardiology revealed to have the highest percentage of extremely difficult questions(16%) and the mean score in this block was 11.6. As to the validity of the questions, neurology in 1991 and infectious diseases in 2000 were the best blocks with 76% and 72.2% valid questions, respectively. The reliability of all tests was proved to be reasonable, using tariff and chord Richardson methods.
