The practical examination types (spot test and slide test) of gross anatomy course in faculty of medicine: a simultaneous evaluation of the aspect of student success
This study aimed to compare the students' scores of the spot (spotter/classical/traditional/tag/ring/bell-ringer) test (3D environment) performed in the laboratory with the slide test (gross anatomy images) (2D environment) in the class. The observation of our department regarding both types for practical examination was reported, in terms of exam marks of the students. Both are preferred as the practical examination types for gross anatomy course our in medical faculty. The 29 blocks' scores in 5 years (2013/2014–2017/2018) belonging to first- and second-year medical students' spot tests and slide tests are evaluated retrospectively and statistically compared. Correlations of the spot tests and the slide tests, besides the correlations between theoretical examinations and the practical examination types, are calculated. Spot test scores were significantly higher (p
