Exploring the length and time related concepts for scenario-based multiple-choice questions through perspectives of medical education experts: a mixed-method approach
Rahul Ramesh Bogam, Harish Chennuri, Girish Manohar Chavan
Korean J Med Educ 2026;38(1):30-43.
Published online February 23, 2026
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2025.128
Purpose
There is a substantial gap in the scientific literature about specific, evidence-based guidelines for optimal word count (length) in multiple-choice question (MCQ) “stems” and “options” and validated time management strategies for MCQ test-takers. This dearth of research indicates a potential need for more studies to develop and validate these significant aspects of MCQ assessment and strategy. This was the first study which formulated guidelines for the word count of scenario-based MCQ (SB-MCQ) “stems” and “options,” along with justifications, from the perspective of medical education experts. The present research also developed specific, validated time management guidelines to assist test-takers effectively navigate MCQ examination.
Methods
A mixed-methods design was implemented where quantitative data from a validated structured questionnaire and qualitative (focus group discussion) data were collected from 76 medical education professionals across multiple Indian provinces, and then analyzed using SPSS and NVivo software.
Results
A recommended best practice for writing SB-MCQs was reported to have question stems between 35–50 words followed by 20–35 words, with three-option formats being preferred over four and five options. Nearly 92.73% of participants reported that, during 1-minute timeframe, maximum time must be spent on “analyzing question stem” followed by on “eliminating options.” The study developed succinct, “eight-step guide” to empower test-takers complete MCQ tests proficiently.
Conclusion
Scenario based MCQs with stems between 35–50 words and options between 1–10 words can improve item quality. Three-option MCQs can be preferred over four- or five-option formats. An emerged “eight-step structured guide” can assist test takers to tackle multiple-choice tests more efficiently and effectively.

Developing the HEART framework: a qualitative study on faculty engagement in service-learning in Malaysia
Chew-Fei Sow, Lay Khim Goh, Pek Sam Chong
Korean J Med Educ 2025;37(4):477-489.
Published online November 27, 2025
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2025.357
Purpose
Most research on service-learning in health professions education has concentrated on student experiences, with little emphasis on staff engagement. Understanding faculty motivations, challenges, and institutional support in service-learning remains an underexplored area. This study addresses this gap by exploring faculty experiences in an immunisation initiative for the displaced community and identifying factors influencing their participation and engagement.
Methods
Using a qualitative research approach, focus group discussions were conducted with sixteen participants involved in the initiative.
Results
Findings revealed that faculty engagement was driven by hands-on skill development, emotional connection, awareness of community needs, structured project goals, and institutional support. Balancing academic workloads and managing emotional demands hampered sustainable faculty involvement. An unexpected outcome was the depth of faculty members’ personal reflection, with many reviewing their privileges and developing a stronger sense of social responsibility.
Conclusion
To enhance faculty engagement, this study introduces the HEART framework, which emphasises “hands-on experience, empathy, awareness of community needs, reflection, and teamwork.” While the framework provides a structured approach to supporting faculty involvement, further validation is necessary to evaluate its effectiveness across diverse educational settings. Future research should refine its components and explore long-term faculty engagement in service-learning.

Project-based learning in teaching health equity: a qualitative study
Natalia Puspadewi, Elisabeth Rukmini, Gisella Anastasia, Christopher David Kurniawan, Gracia Amanta
Korean J Med Educ 2025;37(2):119-131.
Published online May 29, 2025
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2025.329
Purpose
Addressing health inequities is an integral part of contemporary medical education (ME), yet traditional lecture-based formats often fail to develop students’ deeper understanding and engagement. This study examined how a project-based learning (PjBL) approach influenced students’ learning experiences related to health equity.
Methods
This was a qualitative phenomenology study. We designed an elective course on health equity using the PjBL approach and active learning methods. All participating students were asked to complete a group project aimed at addressing a specific health inequity issue from the surrounding community. Data were collected through reflective writing at the end of the course and analyzed using deductive thematic analysis. Twenty-seven codings were identified from 259 meaningful quotes (interrater agreement 99.62%) and grouped into four categories: character, role, competence, and learning experience.
Results
Three major themes emerged from data analysis: (1) key learning experiences during the ME course (active learning, role-modeling, collaborative learning, comprehensive learning, and affective learning); (2) topics that facilitated students’ understanding of health inequities and physicians’ roles, particularly in addressing health inequities in Indonesia; and (3) the influence of the ME course on students’ outlook and beliefs.
Conclusion
Although this study did not introduce a novel method of instruction, it underscores the value of PjBL in enhancing students’ capacity to understand and tackle health inequities.

Beyond the surface: unraveling global health curriculum insights through interviews of learners and educators using the CIPP model
Yoonjung Lee, Jayoung Park, Woong-Han Kim, Jwa-Seop Shin, Hyun Bae Yoon
Korean J Med Educ 2024;36(1):41-50.
Published online February 28, 2024
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2024.283
Purpose
Our study aimed to delve beyond a surface-level understanding and explore the various dimensions of the global health curriculum from the perspective of both learners and educators using the Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) model.
Methods
From 2020 to 2021, interviews were conducted with a total of 10 individuals, including five students who had taken at least one elective course and at least one elective research course, three teaching assistants (TA), and two faculty members who had taken more than four global health courses in multiple phases in the global health curriculum. Semi-structured interview questions based on the CIPP model were used and qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis.
Results
The study identified 12 sub-themes. Students held idealized views of global health careers and sought to bridge the gap through global health classes. They desired early exposure to global health courses, emphasizing both pre-medical and clinical phases. Challenges in adjusting course difficulty and recruiting faculty were identified, along with a preference for interactive teaching methods and offline discussions. The curriculum promoted reflection on medicine’s essence, expanded career perspectives, and emphasized competencies like altruism, communication skills, and crisis management in the evolving global health landscape.
Conclusion
This study showed that a comprehensive approach is possible from the perspective of learners and educators by identifying strengths, weaknesses, and the value of the curriculum’s goals, plans, implementations, and results through the CIPP model. For optimal curriculum design, a sequential approach from basic to advanced courses is essential, promoting hands-on global health experiences for students.

Purpose
Despite attempts to teach medical students and trainees about uncertainty in medical practice and how to tolerate it, studies on how to promote tolerance to uncertainty remain scarce. this study aims to investigate factors that could foster residents’ tolerance to uncertainty.
Methods
The authors used data sources, including semi-structured individual in-depth interviews with 20 medical residents working in two tertiary university hospitals. Inductive analysis of interview records determined key themes, identified categories, and performed a theoretical-type analysis of the participants’ coping behaviors according to the attributes of uncertainty tolerance.
Results
Two characteristics of residents which could lead to constructive coping with uncertainty were discovered: (1) communicative/collaborative behavior with their colleagues, superiors, and patients and (2) self-reflective/self-directed attitude in their medical practice. Both were used to classify four types of uncertainty coping behaviors: adaptive, self-contained, submissive, and isolated.
Conclusion
Fostering communicative/collaborative behaviors and self-reflective/self-directed attitude throughout the training period may result in residents being more tolerant of uncertainties in medical practice.

Negative school experiences of Late Millennial Korean medical students: a qualitative study using the critical incident technique
HyeRin Roh, So Jung Yune, Kwi Hwa Park, Geon Ho Lee, Sung Soo Jung, Kyung Hee Chun
Korean J Med Educ 2020;32(3):197-211.
Published online July 21, 2020
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2020.167
Purpose
Today's students have distinctive generational characteristics and increased psychopathology and generational tension. The authors investigated the negative experiences of Late Millennial students in medical school to draw implications for student support.
Methods
The authors explored medical students’ negative experiences using the critical incident technique. The authors conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews with 13 medical students, between February and May 2016. The authors focused on occurrences that significantly influenced medical students’ school lives negatively from the students’ perspective. All interviews were recorded and transcribed. The authors classified incidents into frames of reference for the use of faculty development for student support.
Results
The authors extracted 22 themes from a total 334 codes and classified them into eight subcategories. Finally, four categories emerged from frames of reference. Students manipulate relationships and colluding for better specialty choice. They experience uncontrolled rifts in interpersonal relationships between peers including lawsuits, sexual assaults, and social network service conflicts. Today’s students feel resentment towards dependent hierarchical relationships with seniors. They struggle with gender discrimination but perpetuate outdated gender role toward the opposite gender.
Conclusion
Faculty members should understand today’s students’ level of career stress and desire for work life balance. They should motivate students’ professional identity, promote assertiveness against unfair authorities, and focus on mental health, teamwork, and relationship building. All generations need to understand other generations and develop appropriate leadership and gender sensitivity.

Experience of nursing students about the barriers to patient education: a qualitative study in Iran
Mohammad Abbasi, Leili Rabiei, Reza Masoudi
Korean J Med Educ 2018;30(4):327-337.
Published online December 1, 2018
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2018.107
Purpose
Patient education is a dynamic and continuous process that should be implemented during the entire time of hospital stay and even afterward. Studies have shown the typically poor quality of patient education in Iran and its failure to convey the required knowledge and skills to patients. The purpose of this study was to survey the experience of nursing students in regard to the challenges of patient education in hospitals.
Methods
This qualitative study was conducted using the conventional qualitative content analysis approach on a sample of 21 undergraduate nursing students (4th semester and beyond), which was drawn from the Qom Nursing and Midwifery School through purposive sampling with maximum variation. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted over a period of 45 to 75 minutes, and were analyzed using the conventional qualitative content analysis.
Results
Results were derived from the experiences of 21 nursing students (nine males, 12 females) about the research subject. The primary themes identified in the study were the student-related, patient-related, instructor-related, education environment-related, and curriculum-related barriers to patient educations.
Conclusion
Participants believed that patient education in Iranian hospitals is faced with many challenges. Nursing instructors and curriculum planners should ensure more emphasis on patient education at the initial semesters of nursing education curriculum and make sure that it is included in the evaluation of students. Hospital officials should provide a dedicated education environment with suitable facilities, tools, and atmosphere for patient education. Also, special education programs need to be developed for less educated patients.

Experiences of medical teachers in flipped learning for medical students: a phenomenological study
Kyung Hye Park, Kwi Hwa Park, Su Jin Chae
Korean J Med Educ 2018;30(2):91-100.
Published online May 30, 2018
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2018.84
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of medical teachers in the process of adapting flipped learning method through a phenomenological approach.
Methods
Semi-structured interviews with five medical teachers from two medical colleges and one medical school were conducted in December, 2017. Data analysis was done according to Colaizzi’s descriptive phenomenological methodology.
Results
A total of 160 unique significant statements were extracted. These statements generated 17 formulated meanings that were categorized into seven theme clusters and four theme categories. Main themes were: (1) teacher with high levels of passion and motivation; (2) hurdles of flipped learning: students were still passive, struggling in preparing for flipped learning; (3) positive changes from flipped learning: changes to classroom environment and teachers’ reflection through experience; and (4) challenges of flipped learning: remaining tasks for teachers, expansion of flipped learning.
Conclusion
Through phenomenological approach, researchers were able to elucidate categories about the experience of medical teachers when attempting flipped learning. Although medical teachers did not have the exact same idea on how flipped learning was conducted and implemented, the perception of flipped learning, or difficulties in class activities, they were still wondering how they could teach students well. This study might draw more attention to flipped learning and stimulate educational and institutional supports to improve teaching and learning in medical schools.

The qualitative orientation in medical education research
Jennifer Anne Cleland
Korean J Med Educ 2017;29(2):61-71.
Published online May 29, 2017
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2017.53
Qualitative research is very important in educational research as it addresses the “how” and “why” research questions and enables deeper understanding of experiences, phenomena and context. Qualitative research allows you to ask questions that cannot be easily put into numbers to understand human experience. Getting at the everyday realities of some social phenomenon and studying important questions as they are really practiced helps extend knowledge and understanding. To do so, you need to understand the philosophical stance of qualitative research and work from this to develop the research question, study design, data collection methods and data analysis. In this article, I provide an overview of the assumptions underlying qualitative research and the role of the researcher in the qualitative process. I then go on to discuss the type of research objectives which are common in qualitative research, then introduce the main qualitative designs, data collection tools, and finally the basics of qualitative analysis. I introduce the criteria by which you can judge the quality of qualitative research. Many classic references are cited in this article, and I urge you to seek out some of these further reading to inform your qualitative research program.

Content Analysis of Standardized-Patients' Descriptive Feedback on Student Performance on the CPX
Young Hee Lee, Young-Mee Lee, Byung Soo Kim
Korean J Med Educ 2010;22(4):291-301.
Published online December 31, 2010
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2010.22.4.291
PURPOSE
The goal of this study was to explore what kind of additional information is provided by the descriptive comments other than the rating scales, on the physician-patient interaction (PPI) in the clinical performance examination (CPX) and its feedback role in identifying students' strengths and weaknesses in communication skills.
METHODS
The data were collected from 18 medical schools in Seoul and Gyeonggi region, which participated in the CPX for fourth-year medical students in 2006 and 2007. In total 12,650 examination cases in 2006 and 12,814 cases in 2007 were analyzed. Descriptive comments from the standardized patients (SPs) were analyzed by content analysis, which includes a 4-step process: coding, conceptualizing, categorizing and explanation.
RESULTS
Ten categories (41 concepts) for 'strength' and 11 for 'weakness' (40 concepts) in the PPI were extracted. Among them, 10 categories were the same in both strength and weakness: providing adequate interview atmosphere, attentive listening, providing emotional support, non-verbal behaviors, professional attitude, questioning, explanation, reaching agreement, counseling & education and conducting adequate physical examination. For the 'structured and organized interview', only weakness was described. In 'providing emotional support' and 'adequate interview atmosphere', comments on strengths were more frequently mentioned than weaknesses. However, communication skills that were related to non-verbal behaviors were more frequently considered weaknesses rather than strengths. The numbers and content of the SP's comments on students' strengths and weaknesses in the PPI varied depending on the case specificities.
CONCLUSION
The results suggest that the SPs' descriptive comments on student' performance on the CPX can provide additional information versus structured quantitative assessment tools such as performance checklists and rating scales. In particular, this information can be used as valuable feedback to identify the advantages and dicadvantages of the PPI and to enhance students' communication skills.

The Failure Experiences of Medical School Students: A Qualitative Study
Sang Hyun Kim, Woo Taek Jeon
Korean J Med Educ 2008;20(4):351-362.
Published online December 31, 2008
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2008.20.4.351
PURPOSE
In medical school, where high-scoring students are respected, a student who fails is regarded as a feckless individual who cannot survive in a competitive atmosphere. This study aims to analyze the experiences of failure inmedical school students using a qualitative approach.
METHODS
In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine medical students who had failed the program and became a repeater or failed to pass the Korean Medical Licensure Exam, and three former and present vice deans of Yonsei University between April 2007 and May 2007. Students were classified into two groups: those who attend medical school and those who had graduated but failed the Korean Medical Association (KMA) examination. RESULTS: The structural factors of experiences with failure were competitive culture, restrictive professor-student relationships, and indifference toward students' quality of life. Students perceived the factors of their failure to be maladjusted learning patterns emotional problems, such as loss of confidence, feelings of inferiority, and depression physical and economic difficulties and poor time management. The results revealed that students felt their status decline and changed their self-concept and that their social network became restricted. CONCLUSION: Medical schools and faculty consider students who have failed as community members. In addition, to prevent student failure, medical schools must reestablish a rigid professor-student relationship, develop a learner-centered curriculum and teaching method, implement a better learning support system, and improve the students' quality of life.
