“…12,14,16,18 Studies have examined medical students, pharmacy students, and residents who are farther along in the educational process compared to the sample in this study. However, the P1 students' selfassessment results in both the pre-and post-video groups are similar to these findings, with students in the highest quartile underestimating their work, and students in the lower quartile overestimating their work based on average scores (Figure l, Table 2).…”

“…These difficulties in self-assessment are consistent with literature examining more advanced pharmacy students 1,12,13 and students in other health professions. 11,[14][15][16]18 Research suggests that overestimation may be due to a variety of causes. One theory is termed the ''aboveaverage effect,'' based on the idea that a person knows himself best (eg, talents, skills), and understands others less.…”

“…Pharmacy students in their last year of the curriculum appear to be limited in their ability to self-assess, which has also been reported for upper level medical students and residents. 1,[14][15][16][17][18] Whether first-year pharmacy (P1) students demonstrate similar tendencies is of critical importance because limitations in self-assessment influence students' academic development throughout the curriculum.…”

Objectives. To determine the ability of first-year students to self-assess communication skills and measure the impact of video review on students' self-assessment. Design. Students participated in a digital video-recorded, counseling-simulation exercise and completed self-assessment before and after viewing their video. A faculty member evaluated the students using the same counseling assessment tool. Assessment. Correlation between the students' self-assessment scores and the faculty member's scores were poor (pre-video: r 5 0.38, post-video: r 5 0.46). The largest portion of the students overestimated their skills in comparison to the faculty member's evaluations (47.1% pre-video and 67.9% postvideo). Those in the lowest quartile overestimated their skills, while those in the upper quartile underestimated their skills (pre-video). Video review brought about an increase in the self-assessment scores for nearly two-thirds (62.1%) of the students. Conclusion. First-year pharmacy students had difficulty self-assessing, and video review increased their perception of skill achievement. A curriculum should include opportunities for students to develop self-assessment skills early in the program, and this should be reinforced throughout the curriculum.

“…1 Similar results are reported in medical education, but have not been documented in the literature of pharmacy education. [2][3][4][5][6][7] The skill lacking in inexperienced individuals is metacognition, the ability to think about one's own thinking, 8 revealed in a lack of accuracy in evaluating personal performance. Individuals with metacognitive skills have insight into their own thought processes and can change their learning strategies based on an assessment of how well they are doing.…”

Objective.To compare student self-assessment of confidence in drug knowledge and proficiency in skills before the start and at the end of the advanced pharmacy practice experiential program. Student self-assessment of knowledge and skills were also compared with preceptor evaluations. Design. A survey instrument to assess student drug knowledge and pharmacy skills was created and administered at the end of the P3 and P4 years. The preceptor survey instrument was administered at the conclusion of the rotation year (May to April). Assessment. P4 students displayed increased confidence in their drug knowledge and skills after completing the advanced pharmacy practice experiences. However, students rated themselves higher than their preceptors rated them in 6 areas of drug knowledge and 16 areas of pharmacy skills. Conclusion. Students' level of confidence about their drug knowledge and skills increased significantly during the advanced pharmacy practice experiences. Pharmacy educators should teach students to improve their accuracy in self-assessment and develop the habit of regular introspection about their professional competence.

“…Students are described as being incapable of making an adequate assessment of their own competences and also as showing a tendency to overestimate their own level of performance. [67][68][69][70] Therefore supervision by others besides students themselves is a prerequisite for an adequate judgement of students performance levels. Supervision should preferably be followed by clear and adequate feedback combined with opportunities for the student to practise the competence and demonstrate his or her progress at a later date.…”
