Description

The article adopts van der Vleuten's criteria as its framing model for assessment quality, outlining "five key criteria that collectively define the utility of an assessment tool": validity (accuracy in measuring intended targets), reliability (consistency over repeated administrations), educational impact (contribution to learning outcomes), acceptability (stakeholder perceptions of fairness, transparency, relevance), and cost (financial, time, and effort resources). The study applies this lens by evaluating SBMCQ quality through item analysis and stakeholder (faculty) perceptions.
