Effect Of Training On Phase II Students In Scenario Based MCQs On Their Problem Solving Ability In Pathology

Abstract Background : Recall-based MCQs primarily assess memory and are inadequate for evaluating higher-order cognitive skills required for solving complex clinical problems. Scenario-based MCQs, aligned with the CBME 2019 curriculum, assess higher domains of Bloom’s taxonomy such as application, analysis, and synthesis.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of training on Phase II MBBS students in solving scenario-based MCQs in pathology and to assess perceptions of students and faculty regarding this training.

Methods: A prospective interventional study was conducted over 4 months among 150 Phase II MBBS students, of whom 97 participated. Students underwent pretest and posttest assessments using validated scenario-based MCQs from urinary system, cardiovascular system, and hematology. Structured training sessions were conducted between tests. Perceptions were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and percentages.

Results: The mean posttest score (9.8) was significantly higher than the pretest score (6.6) (p < 0.001). About 80% of students found the training effective, and 85% reported improved confidence. Faculty perceived the method as beneficial but time-consuming.

Conclusion: Training in scenario-based MCQs significantly improves problem-solving ability and confidence among students. This approach can enhance competency in managing complex clinical scenarios and aid in preparation for postgraduate examinations. Further studies are needed to assess long-term outcomes.
