Online or blended learning assessments through LMS-MOOCs carried out in the world of education today tend to be multiple-choice assessments that are only based on low-level cognitive. In fact, to measure the metacognitive of students is quite difficult, if only using the form of multiple choice questions. Therefore, it takes the form of questions and assessments that allow students to explore their reflective and metacognitive thinking according to the characteristics of the education they are attending. Vocational education tends to apply a project-based learning (PjBL) model that requires authentic and performance-based learning assessment methods. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an appropriate blended metacognitive skill assessment rubric instrument for vocational education. Metacognitive assessment was developed using research and development procedures, with students as subjects in vocational education in Makassar, Indonesia. The integration between elements of metacognitive skills: planning, monitoring, and evaluation with self-peer-teacher assessment can be an assessment method to measure students’ metacognitive thinking skills in PjBL. Especially metacognitive assessment through blended learning practice MOOCs that are in accordance with the characteristics of vocational education and can be adopted by general education.

Earlier analyses (Hassall and Trethowan, 1974, 1976) have examined the pass rates in the Preliminary Test and Membership Examinations in relation to the characteristics of the candidates and after separating those sitting for the first time and those re-sitting. This paper explores the relationship between performance in the Multiple Choice Questionnaire (MCQ) and performance in the examination as a whole, though without distinguishing between candidates making first and those making later attempts.

Abstract Background Physical exam skills of medical trainees are declining, but most residencies do not offer systematic clinical skills teaching or assessment. Objective To assess knowledge of clinical signs and physical exam performance among incoming internal medicine residents. Method For this study, 45 incoming residents completed a multiple choice question test to assess knowledge of clinical signs. A random selection of 20 underwent a faculty-observed objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) using patients with abnormal physical findings. Mean percentage scores were computed for the multiple choice question test, overall OSCE, and the 5 individual OSCE systems. Results The mean scores were 58.4% (14.6 of 25; SD 11. 5) for the multiple choice question test and 54.7% (31.7 of 58; SD 11.0) for the overall OSCE. Mean OSCE scores by system were cardiovascular 30.0%, pulmonary 69.2%, abdominal 61.6%, neurologic 67.0%, and musculoskeletal 41.7%. Analysis of variance showed a difference in OSCE system scores (P < .001) with cardiovascular and musculoskeletal scores significantly lower than other systems. Conclusion Overall, physical exam knowledge and performance of new residents were unsatisfactory. There appears to be a pressing need for additional clinical skills training during medical school and residency training and we are planning a new clinical skills curriculum to address this deficiency.
