Main Article Content
Abstract
Learning evaluation in pharmacology courses for medical cadets and nurse
cadets contains accumulative score of many tests , and the criteria for grading include both statistical analysis (measurement) and subjective analysis Uudgement) with minimum passing level (MPL) set by the department. Thus computer programe like Lotus 1-2-3 could not serve this purpose. As Lotus 1-2-3 is not able to demonstrate sorting score-which is the basis for giving judgement. However, programe in BASIC language, called EXAM.BAS, was developed in order to solve such problem. By this programe mean, standard deviation (S.D.) and score sorting with letter grade can be calculated ,using 0.9 S.D. interval for each graded range. EXAM.BAS can be used by anyone with or without knowledge in BASIC language.
Consequently,it is also useful in learning evaluation for other subjects as well, such
subject must have the following characteristics : full score of each test = 100 % number of students ( = 70 , and number of tests ( = 10.Article Details
