Health professional training often neglects self-assessment skills. Effective curricula integrating self-assessment yield cognitive and non-cognitive benefits, fostering mature learning environments without compromising standards.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Professions Training
  • Learning Sciences

Background:

  • Self-assessment is crucial for health professionals but rarely taught directly.
  • Previous research identified key curricular elements for effective self-assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review studies implementing self-assessment within health professions training.
  • To analyze the impact of self-assessment on learning environments and outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 11 studies meeting specific curricular criteria for self-assessment.
  • Focus on eight studies within health professions and three in other training settings.

Main Results:

  • Learners initially showed disorientation or distrust towards self-assessment.

  • Successful programs reported improved morale, motivation, communication, knowledge, and performance.
  • No extraordinary resources were needed, and traditional standards were maintained.

    • Conclusions:

    • Effective self-assessment programs can create more mature and productive learning environments for health professionals.
    • While cognitive and non-cognitive benefits are evident, transferability to future work settings remains unproven.
