Background: Medical students’ academic achievement is affected by many factors such as motivational beliefs and emotions. Although students with high intellectual capacity are selected to study medicine, their performance varies widely.
Previous research has shown that higher Emotional Intelligence (EI) is associated with better academic and work performance. The present study intended to explore the relationship between EI, perceived stress performance factors among medical undergraduates. This descriptive cross-sectional was conducted 471 undergraduates of 2nd, 4th final years University Colombo, Sri Lanka. Students were rated on self administered Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) Schutte Self-Report Test (SEIT). Examination...
Selection and recruitment into healthcare education practice is a key area of interest for educators with significant developments in research, policy, recent years. This updated consensus statement, developed through multi-stage process, examines future opportunities challenges selection recruitment. There both gap the literature around compelling case further theoretical empirical to underpin development overall philosophes policies their enactment. More consistent evidence has emerged...
There are concerns that the use of social media (SM) among medical students could affect academic performance. The objectives study were to investigate pattern and reasons for SM their association with performance.A stratified random sample, frequency distribution comparison categorical variables Chi-square Fisher exact tests used.Of 97% who responded, 98% used SM. most popular Whatsapp (87.8%), You tube (60.8%) Twitter (51.8%) general use; while (83.5%), (35.5%) (35.3%) learning.

The uptake of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in health professions education can have far-reaching consequences on assessment. medical community still needs to develop a deeper understanding how technology underpin extend assessment practices. This article was developed by the 2010 Ottawa Conference Consensus Group technology-enabled guide practitioners researchers working this area. highlights changing nature ICTs assessment, importance aligning with local context needs,...
Empathy levels have been observed to often decrease when medical undergraduates move the clinical years, particularly in Western countries. However, empathy either remains similar or increases many Asian schools. This study investigated longitudinal profile of students Singapore. Two cohorts who enrolled 2013 and 2014 National University Singapore were tracked for 5 years. The Jefferson Scale Empathy-student version was used. Analyses on mean level individual factors, year-wise gender...
The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) has become an excellent tool to evaluate many elements of a student's clinical skills, especially including communication with the patient (human medicine) or client (veterinary medicine); eliciting information from these conversations; some aspects physical examination; and areas evaluation assessment. One key factor is that examination can be structured compare different students' abilities.
Objectives: This study investigates the relationship between presence of non-functioning distractors (NFDs) and difficulty index multiple choice questions (MCQs). Materials Methods: The number NFDs were correlated for each MCQ Family Medicine Examination, College Medicine, King Saud University (KSU) in three consecutive years (2010, 2011 2012). Results: MCQs with more showed high as compared to having less NFDs. pattern increasing was 1NFD Conclusion: a higher are easier than those lower
The Multiple Mini-Interview (MMI) mostly uses 'Situational' Questions (SQs) as an interview format within a station, rather than 'Past-Behavioural' (PBQs), which are most frequently adopted in traditional single-station personal interviews (SSPIs) for non-medical and medical selection. This study investigated reliability acceptability of the postgraduate admissions MMI with PBQ SQ formats stations.Twenty-six Japanese graduates, first completed two-year national obligatory initial clinical...
