 Introduction

ThekeyaspectofthenewCompetencyBasedUGCurriculumistoemphasize on

the acquisition of competencies as a requisite for learning progression. There is a

need to document the active learning process adopted by the students and

achievement of competencies / predetermined tasks. The logbook provides the

platform for such documentation and thus forms an integral part of theformative/

continuous assessmentprogram.

This book is designed based on the National Medical Commission’s

Competency based curriculum. The comprehensive logbook provides scope for

documentation of learning of cognitive, psychomotor and behavioral skills

throughout the Microbiology course. The students can use this book to record their

performances in Formative/day-day and Internal Assessment (IA) tests. Formats

are suggested for tabulation of Unit wise, Block-wise and Final IA marks that are

to be sent to the University for Consideration of candidature or otherwise toappear

for the SummativeExamination.

This document shall be helpful for the students and the faculty to enable

recording and tracking of skill acquisitions, and in adopting reflective practices to

enhance learning.

 Glossary
Logbook: is a verified record of the progression of the learner documenting the
acquisition of the requisite knowledge, skills, attitude and/ or competencies.

Portfolio is a collection of learner’s progression in tasks and competencies. A

portfolio is evidence of events documented in the logbook. It includes selected
assignments, self-assessment, feedback, work-based and in-training formative
assessments, reflections and learnings from planned activity in the curriculum.

Activity:This term refers to a predefined task performed by learners that

contributes to the achievement of stated objectives or competencies.

Repeat: An activity if not completed satisfactorily and learning outcomes are not
achieved in the first attempt, it needs to be done again by the student. It does not
need further teaching-learning intervention by the teacher

Remedial: This is a planned activity aimed at correcting deficits that prevents a

learner from achieving an intended outcome.

Feedback: Feedback is a formal active interaction performed at the completion of

an observed activity (or activities) intended to facilitate positive change, growth
and improvement of the learner through guided reflection of activity (ies)
performed.

General Instructions
1. The logbook is a important document used for recording acquisition of competencies through various
teaching-learning-assessment activities by the student suchas,
- Self-directedlearning,
- Participation and performance in Small Group Discussions, practicalexercises
- Certifiable skills learning (‘Perform’ levelcompetencies)
- Desirable skills learning (‘Show’ how levelcompetencies)
- AETCOMactivities
- Participationandachievementinconferences,fieldactivities,otherextra-curricularactivities
2. It is the responsibility of each student to bring the logbook to the class and get it verified and signed by the
concerned teacherregularly.
3. All the activities mentioned in the logbook are to be verified andsigned by the teacher and the student with
[Link] the academicyear, the entries inthelogbookarescrutinizedandcertifiedbytheHeadof the
Department ofMicrobiology.
4. Proper care and maintenance of the logbook with entries and signatures is utmost important. This
recordwillbecertifiedbytheHeadoftheDepartmentwithregardstoastudent’sEligibilitytoappear for the
summative examination. Therefore, logbook record is an essential prerequisite forthe
UniversityExamination.
5. As per the NMC Curriculum document, it is expected that, the student has to perform ‘at’ or ‘above’ the
level of expectancy on all the Certifiable skills for the predetermined number of times. If the student’s
performance is below the level of expectancy, the activity is Repeated twice and, if the student still fails to
perform as expected, then a Remedial teaching-learning session is conducted. This is in order to ensure
that the student becomes competent in predetermined certifiablecompetencies.
6. Provision is made to indicate whether the student has participated/performed at or above the expected level
of competency so as to indicate the need for Repeat or Remedial activities, including timely & constructive
Feedback to the students by thefaculty.
7. This book can be used as a ready reckoner to gauge the progression of student learning through his/ her
performance in Formative (day to day) and Internal Assessments(IA).
8. Logbookhasprovisionforentriesofblock-wiseattendanceofthestudent.Attendancerequirementsare75% in
theory and 80% in practical for eligibility to appear for the University examinations in that subject. 75%
attendance in Professional Development Programme(AETCOMModule) is required for eligibility to

ANNEXURE-1: Guide for the conduct of End-block Internal
Assessment Tests

 It is suggested to divide the Teaching-Learning activities into three blocks

(blocks I-III) and carry out the Internal Assessment (IA) tests one each in
theory (cognitive skills) and practical at the end of eachblock.
 The marks distributions for IA tests are suggested in TableII.

 First End-block test can be conducted for 50/100 marks in theory and
practicals using standard assessment tools
 Second End-block test can be conducted for 100 marks in theory and
practicals using standard assessment tools
 ThirdEnd-block test (Theory) should be conducted in the same pattern as
that of summative University examination with two theory papers (paper-1&
2) of 100 markseach.
 Third End-block test (Practicals) should be conducted in the same pattern as
that of summative University examination (80 practicals + 20viva-voce
=100) .

 These scores shall constitute important components of Final Internal

Assessment scores to determine the Eligibility of a candidate to appear for
the University Examinations

38
 ANNEXURE-2: Guide for the conduct of Unit tests

As per the New Curriculum document, there are VIII Units /systems under
which the competencies are distributed. However, here it is suggested to conduct
VII Unit tests on completion of topics from each unit/system. The reason being, in
the present ‘system wise’ teaching approach in microbiology, one would have
covered the topics under unit VII (zoonotic infections & miscellaneous) in any one
of the units (I-VII) /bodysystems.

Written tests in the form of Multiple-Choice Questions(MCQ),short and long

answer questions can be used for assessment of cognitiveskills.

Formative assessment of Practical skills can be done using Objective

Structured Practical Examination (OSPE) and also based on the participation and
performance in practical exercises, Small Group Teaching sessions (SGT),
AETCOM sessions using the rubrics provided in thisdocument.

Consolidated scores can be derived based on the consensus of the faculty

members of the Department.

These scores can be entered in comprehensive log sheets (Table I, Table II)
provided in the logbook.

These scores shall constitute important components of Final Internal

Assessment scores to determine the Eligibility of a candidate to appear for the
University Examinations

clinic, cancer centre etc. and interact with residents/ consultants to find the common
immunocompromised conditions encountered and common infectionsreported.
 A common questionnaire to conduct above survey can also be given as a task tostudents.
 Students to conduct the survey and make a list of at least ten common immunocompromised
conditions seen in the specific hospitallocation.
 Students can also be given individual task to read scientific journal and find an articles on
opportunisticinfections.
 To search literature and find common immunocompromised states and opportunistic
infections associated with theseconditions.
 Resources to be suggested- Reference Books ,few infectious diseasejournals
 Students to be given a weeks’ time fortask.
 Task to be guided and monitored by faculty facilitator virtually or physically at each other
convenienttime.
 One faculty facilitator may guide multiplegroups
 Students to make a group presentation to achieve the identifiedobjectives
 Students to write reflections about the whole learningexperience.
 Attach the survey document, literature searched at the end of logbook as an evidence of the
SDLsession
