Background: Teachers' belief in their ability to teach influences how much of the new knowledge and skills gained during faculty development (FD) programs are actually implemented at the workplace. Aim: To study the effect of a longitudinal FD program on the self-efficacy beliefs (SEB) of teachers of health professions using quasi-experimental methodology. Methods: The SEB of 70 teachers of health professions enrolling for a longitudinal FD program at three sites in India and one site in South Africa and an equal number of comparable controls were measured using the teacher efficacy belief systems-self (TEBS-self) scale. The scale was re-administered at 6 and 12 months to both the groups. Results: Teachers enrolled in the program had lower scores than controls at the beginning of the program but demonstrated a significant increase at 6 months with an effect size of 0.56. The 12-month scores demonstrated a further rise in the participating teachers. The control group maintained the scores but did not show any significant change either at 6 or at 12 months. Conclusion: Longitudinal FD program has positive effect on SEB of teachers.

Supervisory dyads' communication and alignment regarding the use of workplace-based observations: a qualitative study in general practice residency

Laury P. J. W. M. de Jonge, Floor N. E. Minkels, Marjan J. B. Govaerts, Jean W. M. Muris, Anneke W. M. Kramer, Cees P. M. van der Vleuten, Angelique A. Timmerman

Summary: This study aimed to explore whether and how supervisor-resident dyads achieve alignment in performance observations and discuss and adjust goals and methods of observations. The results showed that communication between supervisors and residents regarding the use of observations was not frequent, and their repertoire seemed to be driven more by institutional assessment requirements and patient safety goals rather than providing developmental feedback.

Shaping the right conditions in programmatic assessment: how quality of narrative information affects the quality of high-stakes decision-making

Lubberta H. de Jong, Harold G. J. Bok, Lonneke H. Schellekens, Wim D. J. Kremer, F. Herman Jonker, Cees P. M. van der Vleuten

Summary: This study aimed to explore the influence of narrative information on the perception of information saturation and the interpretative approach of high-stakes decision-making. The results showed that the quality of narrative feedback influenced the perception of information saturation, while the quality of reflection had a lesser impact. These findings highlight the importance of high-quality narrative feedback in assessing difficult portfolios and suggest that examiners adapt their interpretative process in response to interventions and other triggers.

Entrustable Professional Activities and Learning: The Postgraduate Trainee Perspective

Alice Stephan, Gary Cheung, Cees van der Vleuten

Summary: This study aimed to explore the impact of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) on motivation and learning of psychiatry trainees. The results showed that the impact of EPAs on learning was mediated by the trainee's appraisals of subjective control, value, and the costs of engaging with EPAs. Positive appraisals encouraged focused and structured learning with the supervisor, while negative appraisals led to a superficial approach. The granularity of EPAs, alignment with clinical practice, and the supervisor's conscientiousness were found to influence trainee appraisals and subsequent motivation and learning.

Rashmi A. Kusurkar, Cesar Orsini, Sunia Somra, Anthony R. Artino, Hester E. M. Daelmans, Linda J. Schoonmade, Cees van der Vleuten

Summary: The research found that assessments can have both positive and negative effects on student motivation for learning in health professions education. Assessments that stimulate controlled motivation tend to have negative outcomes, while those that stimulate autonomous motivation have positive outcomes. Students often focus on studying for assessments rather than acquiring knowledge relevant to professional practice.

Between theory and practice: educators' perceptions on assessment quality criteria and its impact on student learning

Lonneke H. H. Schellekens, Wim D. J. Kremer, Marieke F. F. Van der Schaaf, Cees P. M. Van der Vleuten, Harold G. J. Bok

Summary: This study explores how educators perceive and achieve assessment quality, as well as their perceptions of the impact of assessment on student learning. The findings reveal that educators predominantly use traditional criteria to understand and achieve assessment quality, with limited awareness of quality criteria at the course and program levels. Additionally, educators perceive the impact of assessment on student learning in two distinct ways: as a source of information to monitor and direct learning, and as a tool to prompt learning.

Studies on Reliability and Measurement Error of Measurements in Medicine-From Design to Statistics Explained for Medical Researchers

Lidwine B. Mokkink, Iris Eekhout, Maarten Boers, Cees P. M. van der Vleuten, Henrica C. W. de Vet

Summary: Reliability and measurement error are measurement properties that assess the impact of various sources of variation on individual measurements. Different designs can be used to evaluate reliability and measurement error, based on choices about which sources of variation are manipulated, which are controlled, and whether the entire measurement instrument or only part of it is repeated. This paper explains how these choices affect the calculation of intraclass correlation coefficients and standard errors of measurement using Venn diagrams, and provides recommendations for improving measurement and reporting study essentials.
