Relationship between Online Formative Assessment and Summative Assessment in the Pediatric Module among Fifth-Year Medical Students
Journal Title: Vajira Medical Journal: Journal of Urban Medicine - Year 2022, Vol 66, Issue 3
Abstract
Objectives: The present study aimed to explore the relationship between online formative outcomes and summative performance in the pediatric module among fifth-year medical students. Methods: We retrospectively collected and reviewed the learning data of 84 fifth-year medical students who enrolled in the pediatric module between August 2020 and July 2021. Results: Students who received individualized feedback had a higher mean summative score than their counterparts (61.17 ± 9.5 vs. 59.24 ± 9.6), and their summative outcome was significantly higher than their formative outcome (61.17% vs. 47.9%). The online formative scores were not correlated with summative scores, but there appeared a strong positive correlation between cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and summative scores (r = 0.685, p-value = 0.001) and a weak negative correlation between pediatric clerkship evaluation and summative scores (r = -0.380, p-value = 0.004). Univariate analysis revealed that lower average cumulative grade point average was significantly associated with an unsatisfactory grade in the pediatric module. Conclusion: The online formative assessment was not correlated with the summative assessment. Therefore, clinical teachers should consider other factors, especially CGPA to identify students who have a tendency for academic failure.
