Study Concurrent Validity Antara script Consordance Test (SCT dan Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) dalam Menilai Penalaran Klinik Mahasiswa Kedokteran
Abstract: In the teaching
process at medical faculty, there are many measuring devices have been used to
evaluate the clinical reasoning ability. Each measuring device has the
advantage and disadvantage. MCQ and SCT are the clinical reasoning measuring
device. In the previous study, both methods have been validated. SCT is a more
recent method to measure clinical reasoning compared to MCQ. This study aims to
evaluate the concurrent validity between MCQ and SCT.
Method: Forty-three students who had already passed the Paediatric
clinical rotation were asked to complete 100 items of MCQ. The next day, they
did 100 items of SCT. The concurrent validity is measured using correlation
analysis.
Results: Concurrent validity between MCQ and SCT did not show strong
correlation (coefficient of rank spearman correlation= 0.291 with the
probability = 0.058).
Conclusion: Concurrent validity between MCQ and SCT do not have strong
correlation in evaluating the clinical reasoning. SCT is used as complement to
evaluation of clinical reasoning in order to be more specific and close to real
setting.
