Abstract
Competent assessment of students plays a key role in shifting
toward a learner-centered paradigm. When we assess our students’
learning, we answer the questions ”What have our students learned and
how they learned it?” and ”How successful have we been in
accomplishing our objectives?”.
In modern learning environments, the learner is an active partner in
the process of learning, teaching, and assessment. He/she selects,
perceives, interprets, and integrates new information to form a coherent
and meaningful whole with his/her prior knowledge and former
expenences.
In the Faculty of Medicine, Suez Canal University the Modified
Essay Questions (MEQ) exam is adopted as the main tool of the
assessment of the cognitive domain.
Out of its importance, the researcher intends to evaluate the system
of MEQ currently used.
Accordingly, the current descriptive study was conducted to evaluate
students’ perception concerning the system of M EQ utilized in assessment
of their knowledge and to evaluate the currently used system of MEQ
from expert’s point ofview~).
