Abstract
The South-East Asian Journal of Medical Education (SEAJME) is the culmination of the SEARAME's vision to bring together medical educationists in the region to promote collaborative efforts toward uplifting the standards of medical education in the region and beyond through dissemination of knowledge. This journal will be the ideal platform to disseminate research findings and stimulate discussion among experts in the field. Open access policy of the journal will facilitate this ideal.From November 2019, The South-East Asian Journal of Medical Education (SEAJME) is indexed in EuroPub
Highlights
In India, the first year graduate medical students are mostly taught by didactic lectures, where students get fewer opportunities to clarify their doubts.This will make it difficult for the students to link clinical observations later in their career with basic biochemical concepts
Testing effect of closed book examination combined with the feedback is an effective formative assessment for medical students in Biochemistry
The marks obtained by high achievers in posttest 1 were significantly higher than their pretest marks after the closed book examination (Table 1, Batch Y)
Summary
In India, the first year graduate medical students are mostly taught by didactic lectures, where students get fewer opportunities to clarify their doubts. This will make it difficult for the students to link clinical observations later in their career with basic biochemical concepts. Research in the field of cognitive psychology has revealed that tests can directly enhance learning by enabling better retention of information. This observation is called the „Testing effect‟ (Larsen et al, 2008). Purpose: Assessment of the effect of providing feedback after closed book examination for graduate medical students on their understanding on the topic „Cancer Biology‟
