PACHON GONZALEZ, Liliam et al. Quality of the final test of Human Morphophysiology II in the Medical Sciences Faculty of Matanzas, school year 2011-2012. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2012, vol.34, n.5, pp. 521-530. ISSN 1684-1824.

With the objective of evaluating the quality of the final theoretical test of the matter Human Morphophysiology II, of the Unique Study Plan (C modified) of the Medicine Specialty, Medical Sciences Faculty of Matanzas, school year 2011-2012, we calculated the difficult and discrimination indexes, and also the discrimination coefficients and the Cronbach alpha to the 168 final theoretical tests applied in this matter. We identified the difficulty level and the discrimination capacity of each test question, and also the reliability of the instrument as a whole. We arrived to the conclusion that the test had an excellent discrimination, with an averagely easy difficultness and a satisfactory internal consistence, allowing defining the students’ knowledge level. Finally we recommended studying more exhaustively the following tests prepared on this matter, calculating these indicators, not only for the different questions, but also for the contents of the explored biomedical basic sciences.

Palabras clave : learning evaluation; difficulty level; discrimination capacity and reliability.
