Description
A webinar presentation covering the following content:For a number of years, we have given pre-registration pharmacists clinical decision making training using an adapted Team Based Learning approach. Amongst other activities, our approach involves the completion of a clinical decision making test both individually (using a confidence marking answer format) and as a group (using IF-AT scratch cards for scoring and instant item level feedback). The results from this exercise feed into a league table and badge system used to incentivise learner engagement.
In previous years, we have observed a shift in the self-assessment profile of our learners away from a conventional Dunning-Kruger trend towards much less overconfidence in grade predictions relative to test performance. We attributed this shift in self-assessment to the provision of repeated tests with immediate item level feedback. However, in response to the COVID crisis, this exercise was moved online using the Intedashboard© software. In our analysis of this years’ data, we did not observe the same shift in self-assessment patterns with online delivery. In-fact we retained a conventional Dunning-Kruger profile which we have provisionally attributed to the loss of “in person peer instruction” which diminishes the internal feedback learners would usually generate through interactions with their fellow learners. In this session, we will reflect on our change in focus away from the benefits of “immediate item level feedback” towards the “effective generation of internal feedback” as a mechanism by which self-assessment can be improved.
