Pharmacy students found the exam self-reflection process beneficial for improving understanding and test-taking skills. This standardized review approach positively impacted their confidence and identification of knowledge gaps.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy education
- Pharmacotherapeutics
- Student assessment
Background:
- Implementing standardized exam review processes is crucial for enhancing student learning in Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) programs.
- Assessing student perceptions provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of educational interventions.
Observation:
- A mandatory exam self-reflection form was implemented for second-year PharmD students scoring below 73% in pharmacotherapeutics courses.
- A survey assessed student opinions on the self-reflection process, achieving a 95% response rate.
Findings:
- The majority of students (92%) found the self-reflection process beneficial and important.
- High satisfaction rates were reported for improved understanding (97%), confidence (91%), and knowledge gap identification (88%).
- Students also noted positive impacts on remediation exam preparation (85%) and scores (79%).
Implications:
- The exam self-reflection process is positively perceived by students, suggesting its value in pharmacy education.
- Further research should quantitatively evaluate the impact of this review approach on student performance.
- This model can inform the development of similar assessment and feedback strategies in other courses.
