A Study on the Development of Computer Based Testing(CBT)for common Test for nursing colleges in order to keep quality of students' competency for clinical trial in hospitals.

随着护理类院校数量的迅速增加，高校毕业时护理实践能力评估的重要性日益凸显。因此，迫切需要在日本的护理大学中开发一种通用的测试，以评估护理学生在医院开始临床试验阶段所需的学生能力和知识的质量。我在2008年至2010年期间获得了科研经费补贴，为了开发这样一种评估医院临床试验前所需能力和知识的通用测试，我制作了18个护理领域的1500个选择题，分别对730名学生和220名学生进行了基于纸笔测试和计算机测试（CBT: computer based Testing）的监测试验。通过对两种结果的比较，可以得出结论，与纸笔测试相比，计算机测试的有用性得到了证实。

With the rapid increase of the number of the nursing university, the importance of the evaluation of the nursing practice ability required by the end of graduation of the university increases.Therefore, it is urgent to develop a common test available in the nursing university throughout Japan to evaluate quality of Student's competency and knowledge required for a nursing student by a stage to begin the clinical trial in hospitals.I received a scientific research funds subsidy from 2008 through 2010 and, for the purpose of developing such common test to evaluate ability and knowledge required before the clinical trials in hospitals, 1,500 multiple choice items from 18 nursing domains were made and carried out monitor trials based on paper-pencil tests and computer tests (by means of CBT : Computer Based Testing) for the 730 students and 220 students respectively., By comparing both results,it follows that the usefulness of the computer examination was confirmed in comparison with of the paper-pencil tests,
