Vetrepos

The VetRepos project is a collaboration between six renowned veterinary institutions from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Hannover (Germany) and the Netherlands in cooperation with the EAEVE. The main goal of this project is to implement a common procedure for valid longitudinal assessment of knowledge, cognitive skills and competences by means of progress testing. The main shared goals are to reduce skills gaps at three levels within veterinary programs of participating partners: at the individual student level, the curricular level and between curricula of the participating veterinary establishments. Progress testing offers both valid longitudinal formative assessment of the individual students' cognitive skills growth within the tested subjects areas as well as a tool for educators to monitor potential educational gaps and mismatches within the curriculum in relation to the basic veterinary learning outcomes defined by EAEVE. The outputs of the project will be created through 6 project work packages:(1) Project organization, management and Quality assurance;(2) Production of learning and information materials;(3) Writing of test items;(4) Validation of test items for formative linear and adaptive progress testing;(5) Development of the common progress testing system; and (6) Dissemination of results. After completion of the project, it is expected that the shared databank will be expanded under continuing supervision of the quality assurance board chaired by EAEVE.
