Peer evaluations moderately correlate with tutor ratings, while self-evaluations show little correlation. This suggests peer assessment offers valuable insights into medical student performance during surgery clerkships.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Assessment Methods

Background:

  • Student evaluations offer unique perspectives on performance.
  • Investigating self, peer, and faculty assessments in problem-based learning (PBL) groups.
  • Focus on the association between different evaluation types.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the correlation between self, peer, and faculty evaluations.
  • To determine the value of peer and self-assessments in medical education.
  • To compare student evaluations with expert tutor ratings.

Main Methods:

  • Third-year medical students (n=154) in surgical clerkship participated.
  • Students were assigned to problem-based learning groups.
  • Self and peer evaluations were compared to tutor ratings using Pearson correlation coefficients.

Main Results:

  • A moderate correlation was observed between peer and tutor ratings.
  • A very low correlation was found between self-ratings and tutor ratings.
  • Peer assessments demonstrated greater alignment with expert judgment.

Conclusions:

  • Peer and self-ratings in tutorial groups can offer valuable supplementary data.
  • Peer evaluations may provide a more reliable indicator of student performance than self-evaluations.
  • Findings support the integration of peer assessment in surgical clerkships.
