Medical students’ perception of assessment and its effects on their learning in Dubai: a convergent mixed methods study
This study reinforced the importance of effectively assessing medical students' competences while maximizing the learning value of the encapsulating assessment method. It showed that it is not about making choices around discrete aspects of assessment, but rather to consider an assessment method holistically as dynamic processes with several moving parts. Ideally, assessment methods should be designed, implemented, and maintained in ways that would maximize their learning value, taking into account the corresponding context and learners' perception.
