Implementation of a National Network for Practices and Research using the Progress Test

Objective

To increase the number of Brazilian schools that adopt progress testing in their student assessment programs by implementing a Rede Nacional de Práticas e Pesquisa com o Teste de Progresso (National Network for Practices and Research using the Progress Test, RNTP). 

Impact
The project will be led by the Universidade Estadual Paulista (São Paulo State University), the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Campinas State University) and the Associação Brasileira de Educação Médica (Brazilian Association for Medical Education).

Implementation of the RNTP will provide the opportunity to exchange experiences among the schools using the test as a means for student assessment. In the future, periodic national examinations will be able to provide consistent data regarding knowledge acquisition among Brazilian medical students.
