了解正常生长发育的荷尔蒙基础，包括青春期的变化，是当代医学实践中大多数医学领域的重要基础知识。一个测试成长和青春期的重要生理概念的测验，是采用著名电视游戏《谁想成为百万富翁》的形式设计的。对这项形成性评估活动的评估显示，一批一年级的医科本科生重视在愉快的互动环境中与同龄人一起学习，在这种环境中，他们能够承认不确定性并澄清答案。它还表明，让一项教育活动变得有趣并不一定会偏离对学习提供反馈的重点。形成性评估是当代医学教育中的一项重要活动，在各种教育环境中都能产生学习收获。由于更多地强调自我指导学习，而课程界限不那么明确，反馈帮助学生理解和应用支撑医学实践的重要生理学概念。
An understanding of the hormonal basis of normal growth and development, including the changes occurring at puberty, is important foundation knowledge for contemporary medical practice in most fields of medicine. A quiz, testing the important physiological concepts of growth and puberty, was designed using the format of the well-known television game "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." An evaluation of this formative assessment activity revealed that a cohort of first-year undergraduate medical students valued learning with peers in an enjoyable, interactive environment, where they were able to admit to uncertainties and clarify answers. It also showed that making an educational activity fun need not detract from the focus of giving feedback on learning. Formative assessment, known to produce learning gains in a range of educational settings, is an important activity in contemporary medical education. With a greater emphasis on self-directed learning and less well-defined curriculum boundaries, feedback helps students to understand and apply the important physiological concepts that underpin the practice of medicine.
