Description
Antoine Gaillet and co-authors test training for writing script concordance tests in this 2026 paper. These tests judge clinical reasoning by comparing student answers with expert panels. Many teachers do not know the format, and expert panels are hard to recruit. Two Paris area medical schools joined a randomized trial in 2024.
A total of 115 junior faculty produced 460 test items. Half received two hours of interactive training first. Nine expert panels judged which items were valid. Trained teachers produced 41 percent valid items against 16 percent for controls. The gap held after adjustment for group imbalances. Short, focused training sharply improved test quality. Better reasoning exams follow from better item writing.
