Testing Anatomy: Dissecting Spatial and Non-Spatial Knowledge in Multiple-Choice Question Assessment
Julie Dickson; Darren J. Shaw; Andrew Gardiner; Susan Rhind – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
Limited research has been conducted on the spatial ability of veterinary students and how this is evaluated within anatomy assessments. This study describes the creation and evaluation of a split design multiple-choice question (MCQ) assessment (totaling 30 questions divided into 15 non-spatial MCQs and 15 spatial MCQs). Two cohorts were tested,…
