Notes on plans of ROJ-OCIL on Medical Education on the topic: Tools in
Measuring Program and Learning Outcomes of Medical Students
Design and Development of Tools to Measure Students’ Learning and
Performance
 Construction (Part 2)
 Scoring / Grading (Part 3)

Learning
Learning objectives:
At the end of the session, the student must be able to:
 Identify the various types of objectives and outcomes of a medical
curriculum that must be considered in order to serve as a guide to
both faculty and students in teaching and learning and in the global
or overall assessment and evaluation of students’ learning and
performance.
 Define program educational objectives; program outcomes; course-
level learning outcomes; and session-level learning objectives.
 Differentiate learning outcomes from learning objectives.

Learning
 Describe the program educational objectives expected by the
Commission on Higher Education (CHED) of a Philippine medical
school.
 Enumerate the program outcomes required by CHED of a Philippine
medical school.
 Describe the policies of CHED on the use of tools to assess and
evaluate medical students and use of performance indicators.

Learning
 Reproduce the framework recommended by ROJoson in the design
and development of tools to measure the global or overall
accomplishment of the students’ learning and performance in a
medical school.
 Explain the factors to consider in the selection of tools to measure
students’ learning and performance vis-à-vis the various categories
of objectives and outcomes in a medical curriculum.

Learning
 Describe the three (3) domains of learning that may be used to
guide in the selection of tools to measure students’ learning and
performance on the various categories of objectives and outcomes
in a medical curriculum.
 Describe Bloom’s taxonomy on cognitive domain that can be used in
the selection of tools to measure students’ learning and
performance.

Learning
 Describe Bloom’s taxonomy on affective domain that can be used in
the selection of tools to measure students’ learning and
performance.
 Describe Bloom’s taxonomy on psychomotor domain that can be
used in the selection of tools to measure students’ learning and
performance.

Learning
 Describe the 3 general categories of tools to measure students’
learning and performance as recommended by ROJoson and give
examples of specific tools.
 Given the domain of learning, give an example of a tool that may be
used to measure students’ learning and performance.
 Given an action verb in a learning objective or outcome, give an
example of a tool that may be used to measure students’ learning
and performance.

Learning
 Make a draft of a master blueprint of tools to be used in the entire
medical school to measure global accomplishment of students’
learning and performance.

Learning
In the curriculum of a medical school, the
-PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES;
-PROGRAM OUTCOMES;
-COURSE-LEVEL LEARNING OUTCOMES; and
-SESSION-LEVEL LEARNING OBJECTIVES
should be spelled out to serve as a guide to both faculty and students
in teaching-learning and in the overall assessment and evaluation of
students’ learning and performance.

Learning
PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Program educational objectives are the broad statements
that describe the CAREER AND PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS
that the program is preparing graduates to achieve.

Learning
PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Case in point: the CHED 2016 guidelines for Philippine medical schools
state the following Program Educational Objectives:
The main goal of the Doctor of Medicine program is to develop
professional physicians for the Philippine healthcare system. The
graduate of the Doctor of Medicine program is a primary care
physician (who can pursue general private medical practice) after
passing the Physician Licensure Examination (PLE).

Learning
PROGRAM OUTCOMES or PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES
Program outcomes or program learning outcomes are the broad
statements
that describe the COMPETENCIES
that the program is preparing graduates to achieve.

Learning
Case in point: the CHED 2016 guidelines for Philippine medical schools
state the following Program Outcomes:

Learning
Program Outcomes Operational Definition of Program

Learning
COURSE-LEVEL LEARNING OUTCOMES
Course-level learning outcomes are specific statements of learning,
performance and attitude that the students need to achieve at the end
of a particular course or study.
The course-level learning outcomes contribute to the achievement of
program outcomes and eventually the program educational objectives.

Learning
SESSION-LEVEL LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Session-level learning objectives are specific statements of learning,
performance and attitude that the students need to achieve after an
educational activity within a course.
The session-level learning objectives contribute to the achievement to
course-level learning outcomes.

Learning
LEARNING OUTCOMES vs LEARNING OBJECTIVES
A note on learning outcomes vs learning objectives, terms commonly
encountered in education and commonly used interchangeably.
Learning outcomes describe in observable and measurable terms what
students should be able to do after completing a learning experience.
Learning objectives usually describe, also in observable and
measurable terms, what a faculty aims to do through organizing
specific topics or individual learning activities to achieve the learning
outcomes. Students may be allowed to contribute to the formulation
of learning objectives of an educational session.

Learning
Tools with Performance Indicators in Measuring Program and Learning
Outcomes of Medical Students
In the curriculum of a medical school, there shall be tools with
performance indicators to measure the degree of accomplishment of
the students at ALL levels, namely, PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL
OBJECTIVES; PROGRAM OUTCOMES; COURSE-LEVEL LEARNING
OUTCOMES; and SESSION-LEVEL LEARNING OBJECTIVES.
The performance indicators will serve as a basis for assessment and
evaluation of student achievement through different points in the
curriculum, from start to finish.
CHED POLICIES

Learning
ROJoson Observation 1:
A lot of times, a lot of medical schools utilize written tests ONLY to
assess and evaluate students. There should be other tools considering
there are other domains of learning to assess and evaluate such as the
affective and psychomotor domains.
Written tests are generally used for cognitive domain and not for
affective and psychomotor domains. Within the cognitive domain,
there are also different levels of learning (see Bloom’s taxonomy of
cognitive domain) that must be assessed and evaluated which require
tools other than written tests.

Learning
ROJoson Observation 2:
The Physician Licensure Examination evaluates graduates on the
cognitive domains ONLY, none on the affective and psychomotor
domains.
Ideally, not enough. However, it has been the practice since time
immemorial.

Learning
The choice of what tools to use to measure will first depend on the
elements to be measured. These elements should be listed down on
the column under “Elements to Measure.”
Then, depending on the elements to measure, one or several
appropriate tools will be selected and later implemented.

Learning
The factors that govern the selection of measuring tools based on the
elements to measure consist of the following:
• Types of learning domain – cognitive, affective and psychomotor
• Levels of learning in each domain – Bloom’s taxonomy
• Behavioral verbs in the learning objectives and outcomes
Other factors that govern the selection of tools:
• Validity
• Reliability
• Usability These will be expounded one by one.

Learning
To facilitate the selection of the tools, the “Elements to Measure” can
be classified into 3 domains for learning:
cognitive, psychomotor and affective
or into the 3 aspects of learning for competence:
knowledge, skills and attitude.

Learning
3 domains of learning relevant to medical education / medical
students:
• Cognitive domain (KNOWING; KNOWLEDGE; mental skills)
• Psychomotor domain (DOING; SKILLS; manual or physical skills)
• Affective domain (FEELING; ATTITUDE; growth in feelings or
emotional areas)

Learning
students:
COGNITIVE domain (KNOWING; KNOWLEDGE; mental skills)
 Focusing on knowledge acquisition and intellectual skills and
abilities
 (e.g. the diagnosis of disease, strategizing treatment options)

Learning
students:
PSYCHOMOTOR domain (DOING; SKILLS; manual or physical skills)
• Relating to skills that require varying levels of well-coordinated
physical activity and precise manipulative procedures
• (e.g. doing physical examination, performing a needle aspiration,
suturing of an open wound)

Learning
students:
AFFECTIVE domain (FEELING; ATTITUDE; growth in feelings or
emotional areas)
• Dealing with feelings, emotions, mindsets and values, including the
nurturing of desirable attitudes for personal and professional
development
• (e.g. allaying the concerns and fears of patients, displaying empathy
for the relatives of a patient who has just died, displaying mutual
trust and respect in working with members of the healthcare team,
upholding high ethical standards in practice)

Learning
Under each domain of learning, there are different levels of
complexity and specificity that are described and being advocated by
educators.
Bloom’s taxonomy of learning is most popular and widely used
globally.
• Bloom’s Taxonomy of Cognitive Domain
• Bloom’s Taxonomy of Affective Domain
• Bloom’s Taxonomy of Psychomotor Domain

Learning
Bloom’s Taxonomy of Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor Domain
Under each domain of learning, there are different levels of
complexity and specificity. These should serve as a guide in the
selection of measuring tools.
Cognitive
Domain
Affective

Psychomotor

Evaluating Characterizing Naturalizing
Higher/est level Creating

Learning
Before continuing on with the discussion on the factors that govern
the selection of measuring tools, presentation of the different
categories of tools is in order.
These tools can generally be categorized into
1) test;
2) observation or observation technique; and
3) project or project-based technique.
Under each category are many more specific tools. This will be
expounded in another lecture or talk. Some examples are given below
just to give an idea what can fall under each general category of tools.

Learning
Examples of common TESTS are written tests (paper-pencil or
digital/online) and oral exams (face-to-face or tele/online).
Examples of common procedures under OBSERVATION are the
practical exams; the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)
and observation of performance skills and attitude using checklists
and rating scales; anecdotal records; and critical incident technique.
Examples of PROJECTS to measure students’ learning are case study
and discussion; management of actual problem-solving situations;
research projects; and learning and reflection portfolios; etc.

Learning
*Note: Multiple tools may be selected / or necessary to capture all or
most aspects of competency if any single method may not be sufficient
to do the job.
**Tests are weakest on assessing / evaluating psychomotor or
affective learning domains.
***Observation may be used to assess/evaluate multiple learning
domains simultaneously, psychomotor, cognitive and affective. Direct
observation are stronger tools than indirect observation.

Learning
Below is a table of tools commonly and can be used to measure
students’ learning and performance based on the learning domains
implied in the learning objectives and outcomes.
Learning Domains

Learning
Behavioral verbs in the learning objective and outcomes should also
serve as a guide in the selection of measuring tools.
USE BEHAVIORAL VERBS TO COME OUT WITH BEHAVIORAL
OBJECTIVES.
Behavioral objectives describe what the student will be able to do
after a learning activity, something that is observable and measurable.
Each objective should begin with a verb that describes an observable
behavior, such as “describe, summarize, demonstrate, compare, plan,
score”, etc.
One can observe the student and/or measure how well the objective
was met.

Learning
The factors that govern the selection of measuring tools based on the
elements to measure consist of the following:
• Types of learning domain – cognitive, affective and psychomotor
• Levels of learning in each domain – Bloom’s taxonomy
• Behavioral verbs in the learning objectives and outcomes
Other factors that govern the selection of tools:
• Validity
• Reliability
• Usability

Learning
The specific tool chosen for “Element to Measure” must be
appropriate or valid; reliable and usable or practical.
Validity refers to the appropriateness, adequacy, accuracy and
effectiveness of the measuring tools (they measure what they are
designed to measure).
Example of non-validity: using a tool that measures a medical
student’s technical proficiency is not valid for predicting bedside
manner.
Another example of non-validity: using written tests to
assess/evaluate a medical student’s skill is not valid.

Learning
Reliability refers to the consistency of measuring tools in producing
results. Consistent results mean that a student being assessed and
evaluated gets the same score or grade no matter how, where or when
they are subjected to the measuring tools.
Put in another way, if similar scores are obtained when the same
measuring tool is used on the same students at two different
occasions, it can be concluded that the results have a high degree of
reliability from one occasion to another.
Similarly, if different faculty mark students’ answer on the same
measuring tool and obtain quite similar results, it can also be
concluded that the results have a high degree of reliability.

Learning
Usability refers to the practicality of the measuring tools. It should be
economical in terms of time and money, easily administered and
scored, and produce results that can be interpreted and applied by the
medical school.
