Developing self-evaluation skills is crucial for medical students. This study in the United Arab Emirates found that while students generally rated themselves highly, male students reported higher self-evaluation scores than females.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Professions Education

Background:

  • Self- and peer-evaluation are vital for maintaining professional competence in doctors.
  • Problem-based learning (PBL) is implemented in the first year at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS).
  • Student self-evaluation and tutor ratings are integral components of PBL tutorials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically investigate the role of student self-evaluation compared to tutor evaluation in PBL tutorials.
  • To analyze self-evaluation trends across five themes in the first-year medical curriculum.

Main Methods:

  • A study was conducted with first-year medical students (n=64) at FMHS in 1994 and 1995.
  • Data collected included student self-evaluation scores and tutor ratings across five PBL themes.

  • Statistical analysis compared self-evaluation scores between genders and across themes.

    • Main Results:

    • Mean self-evaluation scores were consistently high among students throughout the module.
    • No significant trend in self-evaluation scores was observed from theme one to theme five.
    • Male students reported higher overall self-evaluation scores compared to female students, though self and tutor scores were generally similar.

    Conclusions:

    • Student self-evaluation skills contribute to a broader appraisal of performance in medical education.
    • Sharing assessment reports between students and tutors enhances analytical and critical appraisal skills.
    • Gender differences in self-evaluation scores warrant further investigation within PBL contexts.
