“…Compelling evidence for the impact of reflection on actual performance is currently absent [ 9 ]. There has been some exploration of the use of reflection within portfolios with some encouraging results for learning [ 10 ] but a requirement to provide SI or maintain a portfolio does not automatically mean that reflection will occur [ 11 ]. There is also a wider debate about the assessment of evidence in portfolios and in particular whether reflective writing can and should be assessed [ 6 , 10 ].…”

BackgroundA portfolio of supporting information (SI) reflecting a doctor’s entire medical practice is now a central aspect of UK appraisal for revalidation. Medical revalidation, introduced in 2012, is an assessment of a doctor’s competence and passing results in a five yearly license to practice medicine. It assesses of a doctor’s professional development, workplace performance and reflection and aims to provide assurance that doctors are up-to-date and fit to practice. The dominant assessment mechanism is a portfolio. The content of the revalidation portfolio has been increasingly prescribed and the assessment of the SI is a fundamental aspect of the appraisal process which ultimately allows Responsible Officers (ROs) to make recommendations on revalidation. ROs, themselves doctors, were the first to undergo UK revalidation. This qualitative study explored the perceptions of ROs and their appraisers about the use of this portfolio of evidence in a summative revalidation appraisal.Methods28 purposefully sampled London ROs were interviewed following their revalidation appraisal and 17 of their appraisers participated in focus groups and interviews. Thematic analysis was used to identify commonalities and differences of experience.ResultsSI was mostly easy to provide but there were challenges in gathering certain aspects. ROs did not understand in what quantities they should supply SI or what it should look like. Appraisers were concerned about making robust judgements based on the evidence supplied. A lack of reflection from the process of collating SI and preparing for appraisal was noted and learning came more from the appraisal interview itself.ConclusionsMore explicit guidance must be available to both appraisee and appraiser about what SI is required, how much, how it should be used and, how it will be assessed. The role of SI in professional learning and revalidation must be clarified and further empirical research is required to examine how best to use this evidence to make judgments as part of this type of appraisal.

“…In the early years of the programme, RPs were not at all automated, i.e., they were recorded 100% on paper. This has triggered the Ubiquitous Computing Group (UCG) of UFSCar to launch the electronic reflective portfolio project [17]. EAMS-CBALM has been developed as a spin-off of this effort, in partnership with the UFSCar Department of Medicine (DMed), the Teaching and Research Institute (TRI) of the Sírio-Libanês Hospital (SLH), and a software house.…”

ScrumOntoBDD: Agile software development based on scrum, ontologies and behaviour-driven development

When developing a Learning Management System (LMS) using Scrum, we noticed that it was quite often necessary to redefine some system behaviour scenarios, due to ambiguities in the requirement specifications, or due to misinterpretations of stories reported by the Product Owners (POs). The definition of test suites was also cumbersome, resulting in test suites that were incomplete or did not at all comply with the system requirements. Based on this experience and to deal with these problems, in this paper, we propose the ScrumOntoBDD approach to agile software development, which combines Scrum, ontologies and Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD). This approach is centred on the concepts and techniques of Scrum and BDD and focuses on the planning and analysis phases of the software life cycle, since the BDD tools currently provide little support to these phases, while most of the problems during the LMS development were found exactly there. We claim that our approach improves the software development practices in this respect. Furthermore, ScrumOntoBDD employs ontologies in order to reduce ambiguities intrinsic to the use of a natural language as a BDD ubiquitous language. In this paper, we illustrate and systematically evaluate our approach, showing that it is beneficial since it improves the communication between members of an agile development team.

“…Uno de los instrumentos de evaluación más utilizado en la construcción del espacio común de educación superior en todas las ramas de conocimiento, y de forma más concreta en Ciencias de la Salud, es el portafolios (Saltman Tavabie y Kidd, 2012;Vaughan et al, 2012;Forte, de Souza, da Silva, do Prado y Rodrigues, 2013;Vance et al, 2013;Chiu Lee y Ho, 2014;Haldane, 2014), especialmente por su capacidad para evaluar las competencias desarrolladas por el estudiante (Suraseranivongse et al, 2011;Cheung, 2011;Atahawi et al, 2012;Webb et al, 2014) y por el protagonismo que otorga al alumnado en su proceso de aprendizaje y evaluación (Finlay, Probyn y Ho, 2012;Bok et al, 2013). No obstante, a pesar de las ventajas que conlleva su utilización, no está exento de dificultades (Driessen Van Tartwijk, Van Der Vleuten y Wass, 2007).…”

Evaluación de competencias prácticas clínicas por el alumnado y el profesorado a través del portafolios

La evaluación de las competencias prácticas clínicas que los estudiantes de Medicina adquieren al realizar su rotatorio en un hospital es algo bastante inusual en la universidad española. Y mucho menos lo es la participación del alumnado en dicha evaluación. Las prácticas son obligatorias, sin más, no están sujetas a ninguna evaluación. En esta investigación, mediante la utilización de un portafolios y una lista de verificación, se pretendió conocer el porcentaje de estudiantes que cursan 5º de Licenciado en Medicina que adquiere las competencias y resultados de aprendizaje previstos para este período de tiempo en la asignatura de Traumatología, tanto desde la percepción del profesorado como del alumnado. Los resultados indicaron que, a nivel global, según los alumnos, el porcentaje de éstos que desarrollaron las competencias fue notable, mientras que, para los docentes, dicho porcentaje fue moderado. Prácticamente en todos los resultados de aprendizaje los estudiantes realizaron valoraciones superiores al profesorado, no existiendo en la mayoría de las ocasiones correlación significativa entre sendas percepciones. Asimismo, no se encontraron diferencias significativas en función del sexo de los estudiantes y únicamente en algunas ocasiones, sí se hallaron en función del hospital en el que los alumnos realizaron sus prácticas. Como conclusión, expresamos la necesidad de ir mejorando progresivamente el portafolios como instrumento de aprendizaje y evaluación de competencias.
