An Analysis of Medical Undergraduate Students' Performance on Problem-based Objective Written Questions Versus Traditional Objective Written Questions Concerning the Digestive System in Histology
The aim is to compare medical undergraduates' performances on problem-based objective written questions with traditional formats focusing on the digestive system in histology.
Analysis of performance metrics from two types of objective written questions
Participants included medical undergraduate students studying histology
Performance on questions specifically addressing the digestive system was assessed
Students performed better on problem-based questions compared to traditional ones
The difference in performance was statistically significant, with p<0.01
Problem-based questions were more effective in evaluating understanding of histological concepts related to the digestive system
