| Abstract | Objectives: To assess the correlation of "acceptability index" (AI) for Nedelsky method from medical teachers with AI from actual borderline medical students and difficulty index (DI). Method: Prospective study was conducted in the academic year 2012. Eighty fourth-year medical students from 3 groups of rotations in radiology were invited to define AI by Nedelsky method for 100 multiple-choice questions (MCQs). AI of borderline medical students in 3 groups were assessed their correlation with AI from medical teachers. Additionally, DI from item analysis was also considered. Results: Nineteen borderline medical students were identified. The correlation coefficient (r) of AI from medical teachers and borderline medical students were 0.23 (p<0.001), 0.01 (p=0.93) and 0.12 (p=0.10), and correspond to the correlation values of AI from medical teachers and DI of 0.24 (p=0.001), 0.06 (p=0.455) and 0.23 (p=0.003) in group 1, 2 and 3, respectively. While the correlation coefficient (r) between AI from borderline medical students in group 1, 2 and 3 and DI in each their group were 0.45 (p<0.001), 0.61 (p<0.001) and 0.53 (p<0.001), respectively. Conclusions: The correlation of AI from medical teachers with borderline medical students and DI were rather poor whereas AI from borderline medical students were fairly good associations with DI. |
