A new technique for an automated scoring of students' examination in presented and compared to a former version. The former procedure to be used for students' classification scores the knowledge of students according to the arithmetic mean and thus, possesses many disadvantages. The new procedure divides students into categories related to an accepted grading scale. This procedure takes into consideration the importance of particular sections and the influence of the assistant who is in charge of a subspeciality session of the course. We performed the division of the students' knowledge into five categories, each consisting of two subcategories. Additionally, this procedure selects students according to the outcome of the multiple-choice examination for an oral examination in order to provide them with a more accurate score. Exemplary application of this method was tested on a group of 358 dental students previously graded by “ the method of an average" in the field of pathology. The technique of multi-criterion grading excludes unlimited mutual compensation of the criteria, differentiates the importance of particular courses, introduces a quality criterion that was not in use before, i.e. the category of person conducting the course session, and allows to detect the group of “questionable" students who should be additionally examined by interviews in order to give them appropriate scores. Creating and using the system of multi-criterion grading of students in the pathology course is an improvement of the so far used technique which has been based on grading of average scores. It is an objective and at the same time more flexible algorithm. The software for the method in use - NOS (Nadawanie Ocen Studentom - Grading Students) is described in detail. |
