Abstract:
Background:Written communication skill is of the important skills for
medical doctors and medical professionals. Written communication includes
daily notes, letters, memos, personal requests, summaries, reports,
editorials, and essays. An essay is a form of written assessment
used by educators to make inferences about a problem, evaluate a
situation, and assess their knowledge and understanding among students.
Essay writing is an important tool for developing thinking, critical
thinking, and analytical skills.
Aim:To do a comparative evaluation of essays by first-year students of
pre-med and pre-health education
Materials and Methods:In this study, essays written on the topic
“My Childhood” by students who studied Communication Skills in the
2022–2023 and 2023–2024 academic years were evaluated using the
6 criteria of the Rubric and the group discussion identified the problems
students faced when writing essays.
Results:Among the essays of 568 first-year basic education students
who studied in the 2022–2023 academic year, 32.6% had spelling errors,
25.5% had grammatical and composition errors, and 20.4% were
insufficiently written in terms of content. It was identified that 28.6% of
the essays of 525 students who studied in the 2023–2024 academic
year contained spelling errors, 21.8% contained compositional errors,
and 18.6% lacked content. Additionally, 10.5% did not have the required
essay structure for writing their essays.
