Surveys02:16

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Social Foundations of Self III: Self-Evaluation

Self-evaluation is the process by which individuals assess their abilities, behaviors, and characteristics based on feedback from others. Charles H. Cooley observed that a person’s self-perception is primarily influenced by how others see and judge them. He suggested that individuals form their identities based on their interpretations of others' reactions. As a result, social interactions play a crucial role in shaping self-esteem and personal identity. These external evaluations often blend...
Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.
Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances01:29

Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances

Appearance is a multidimensional aspect of self-presentation that encompasses observable attributes such as clothing, grooming, speech, and nonverbal behavior. These elements are often strategically managed to align with socially constructed expectations in different settings. For instance, individuals tailor their appearance during job interviews, social gatherings, or athletic events to meet the perceived norms of those environments.Contextual Adaptation and Social SignalsThe research...
Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated, individuals become less...

Summary

Student attitudes towards portfolio assessment initially declined but improved over four years. While enhancing understanding and reflection, excessive paperwork hindered clinical learning, necessitating manageable evidence requirements and improved student induction.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Assessment and Evaluation

Background:

  • Portfolio assessment is a method used in medical education to evaluate student learning.
  • Understanding student perceptions of this assessment method is crucial for its effective implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and analyze student attitudes towards the portfolio assessment process over a four-year period.
  • To evaluate the evolution of student perceptions regarding portfolio assessment in medical school.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire with statements and open-ended questions was administered to medical students.
  • Student feedback was collected over four years (1999, 2000, 2002, 2003) and analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Student attitudes towards portfolio assessment became more positive over the four years.
  • Students reported that portfolio building enhanced their understanding of learning outcomes and promoted reflection.
  • However, students perceived that the extensive paperwork required for portfolios interfered with clinical learning.

Conclusions:

  • Managing the volume of paperwork in portfolio assessment is essential.
  • Effective student induction focusing on the importance of evidence for all learning outcomes can alleviate concerns and support reflective practice.
