Does the Progress Test support and encourage EBL? A study of students’ preparation for the test in two medical school which use Problem-Based Learning
This comparative and evaluative project will take place in Manchester and Peninsula Medical School who both use PBL as the main method of learning. The Progress Test is a multiple-choice paper which is administered to medical students in all year groups simultaneously and assesses the objectives of the entire education programme in the hope of discouraging the ‘pass and forget’ mentality prevalent in other assessments. A better understanding of students’ preparation for the Progress Test will enable redesign of the assessment if necessary, in order to ensure constructive alignment and support deeper learning.
