Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the implementation of the competency-based curriculum (CBC), which has become the primary educational model in Korean medical schools. It also presents valid evaluation criteria developed through expert consensus to support ongoing improvements in curriculum quality.

Methods: This study examines the implementation of the CBC, which has become the primary educational model in Korean medical schools. It also presents valid evaluation criteria developed through expert consensus to support ongoing improvements in curriculum quality.

Results: Three rounds of Delphi surveys were completed to validate the valid evaluation criteria. Criteria with lower content validity ratios were revised and supplemented based on expert feedback. Ultimately, the process resulted in the identification of five evaluation areas, 16 evaluation items, and 51 evaluation indicators. Among these, the indicators focusing on learner achievement were found to be the most significant.

Conclusion: This study developed an evaluation model and valid evaluation criteria specifically designed for the curricula of Korean medical schools. These were created based on expert consensus, which adds to the strength and relevance of the proposed framework. The establishment of valid evaluation criteria is expected to enhance evaluation practices, promote educational quality, and support the continuous improvement of medical education.

用德尔菲层次法评价医学院校能力本位课程标准的验证。

目的：本研究探讨能力本位课程（CBC）的实施情况，该课程已成为韩国医学院校的主要教育模式。它还提出了通过专家共识制定的有效评价标准，以支持课程质量的持续改进。方法：本研究考察了已成为韩国医学院校主要教育模式的全血细胞计数的实施情况。它还提出了通过专家共识制定的有效评价标准，以支持课程质量的持续改进。结果：完成了三轮德尔菲调查，验证了有效的评价标准。根据专家反馈对内容效度比较低的标准进行修订和补充。最终确定了5个评价领域、16个评价项目、51个评价指标。其中，关注学习者成就的指标最为显著。结论：本研究开发了一套针对韩国医学院校课程设计的评估模型和有效的评估标准。这些是在专家共识的基础上制定的，这增加了拟议框架的强度和相关性。建立有效的评价标准有助于加强评价实践，提高教育质量，支持医学教育的持续改进。
