Abstract

The internet-based educational technology has been widely used in the medical schools all over the world. It gives a way for teachers to create online self-evaluation tests and for students to take tests without having to turn in a grade to the teachers. To test the hypothesis that internet-based online tests participation/performance is positively correlated with the final score of physiology course, 84 third-semester medical students were tracked for their frequency of attendance and performance of online tests and their final grades examined by traditional assessments. The results showed that the high frequency of attendance in the online tests resulted in a high score on the final assessment, and the score of the online tests was positively correlated with the written examination score (r=0.74). The finding suggests that online tests participation/performance may be a significant determinant of performance of medical students in basic medical science courses. It is concluded that the internet-based educational technology will improve the quality of medical education.

在线测试的参与/表现是生理学最终成绩的决定因素

基于互联网的教学技术在世界各地的医学院校中得到了广泛的应用。它为教师创建在线自我评估测试和学生参加测试提供了一种方式，而不必向教师提交成绩。为了验证基于互联网的在线测试的参与/表现与生理学课程的最终成绩正相关的假设，我们跟踪了84名三学期医科学生的参加频率和在线测试的表现，以及他们通过传统评估的最终成绩。结果表明，参加网络测试的频率越高，最终评估的分数越高，网络测试的分数与笔试分数呈正相关(r=0.74)。研究结果表明，在线测试的参与/表现可能是医学生在基础医学课程中表现的重要决定因素。结论是网络教育技术将提高医学教育质量。
