The teaching of primary attention to the health: diagnostic and formative evaluation by microcomputer

Abstract

The study aims to explore the utilization of the Formative Evaluation by the microcomputer in the teaching of primary attention to the health. The experiment is composed of eight modules, programmed in Basic software “ Formative Evaluation’’. For each module, a Question Bank with three sorts of feedback was organized. The sample includes 16 subjects. The results show that the Formative Evaluation by Microcomputer proportioned to the students a cognitive domain significantly higher than the traditional instruction. However, it didn’t provide a significantly superior performance to the students who experienced this system.
