摘要：Many students have difficulty mastering the demands of medical courses. Applying the
Triads method, the present research compares the validity of three self-reported
methods that measure self-study hours in a medical course. Thirty randomly selected
students participated in this study. Three surveys were developed: continuous weekly
records (WR) and two end-course retrospective self-reported surveys, AR (asking
average hours/week during academic year) and FR (asking study frequency throughout
academic year and mean hours of studying on a given day). Validity coefficients (VCs),
which measure the correlation between observed and “true” self-study, were estimated
using the Triads method. The estimated VC was 0.86, 0.94 and 0.87 for WR, FR and AR,
respectively. Therefore, given the demands of WR and, since FR showed more accuracy
than AR, we propose a novel method, FR, to retrospectively estimate self-study in a
medical course.
