Implementation Of Stress Coping Skills Programme In Dental Students’ Curriculum To Improve The Validity Of Their Assessment
Stress Coping Skills Programme In Students’ Curriculum
Keywords:
Stress, Dental Students, Curriculum, Validity, AssessmentAbstract
The key dictum to build reliability (and validity) for any assessment is to have multiple tests on multiple content areas by multiple examiners using multiple tools in multiple settings. Moreover, stress coping skills will have positive impact on all the domains which in turn give a boost to positive tendencies, viz., increasing their attentiveness in class, concentration, and learning and thereby reduce the altered performance due to stress. As a result, the CIV (noise in the assessment) is reduced and hence the validity of assessment is improved. Psychologist and Psychometricians are to be appointed in every institute.
