Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

12.9K
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.

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

423
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Surveys02:16

Surveys

14.3K
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.

Measures of Intelligence01:29

Measures of Intelligence

13.0K
Psychologists measure intelligence by using standardized tests that produce a score known as the intelligence quotient or IQ. To understand IQ tests, it's important to recognize the key principles behind their construction: validity, reliability, and standardization.
Validity refers to how well a test measures what it claims to measure. An intelligence test should accurately assess intelligence rather than another characteristic, like anxiety. Criterion validity is one way to evaluate this;...

Decision Making: Traditional Method01:14

Decision Making: Traditional Method

4.4K
The process of hypothesis testing based on the traditional method includes calculating the critical value, testing the value of the test statistic using the sample data, and interpreting these values.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...

Social Foundations of Self III: Self-Evaluation

266
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Academic Promotion
  • Faculty Development

Background:

  • Valuing faculty educators is crucial for medical schools' mission.
  • Previous frameworks (2006 AAMC Consensus Conference) lacked rigorous assessment systems for promotion.
  • Inconsistent evaluation hinders recognition of educational scholarship.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish consensus guidelines for evaluating faculty educational contributions.
  • To develop a standardized system for assessing educator portfolios.
  • To promote fair academic promotion for educators.

Main Methods:

  • Formation of the AAMC Task Force on Educator Evaluation in 2010.
  • Delineation of currently valued educational contributions by institutions.
  • Creation of the Toolbox for Evaluating Educators with explicit, evidence-based criteria.

Main Results:

  • The Toolbox provides criteria for evaluating faculty in five domains of educator activity.
  • Adoption of these criteria is essential for fair promotion processes.
  • The article details the iterative, evidence- and stakeholder-based development process for these criteria.

Conclusions:

  • Institutional adoption of the AAMC's educator evaluation criteria is advocated.
  • Standardized assessment will allow educators to be judged by established standards, similar to researchers.
  • This promotes equitable recognition and valuation of faculty educational scholarship.
