ASSESSMENT BACKGROUND |
| The Standardized Assessment Taskforce consists of
faculty champions and others who meet biannually to write
knowledge-based test times that are used to create valid and
reliable criterion-referenced examination.
This comprehensive and integrated knowledge examination
system is constructed in 60 and 100 item sets.
Each set is comprised of three parallel versions of the
cancer prevention, clinical detection and cancer control subject
matter with referenced reading lists for each item.
These examinations are devised to cover a matrix that
describes the subject matter by type of cancer and information on
topics such as natural history and epidemiology, clinical
presentation and risk factors, primary prevention and public
health control mechanisms, patient education and anticipatory
guidance, clinical screening and early detection maneuvers, and
patient relations and breaking bad news.
The knowledge-testing program has been widely used by the
Texas schools and others since 1998. |
