Abstract

RESUMEN En este escrito se narra una experiencia de uso de tres películas comerciales para llevar a cabo evaluaciones formativas en Psicología con estudiantes de Medicina y de Biología. En ambos casos, los alumnos visionaban las películas en horas de clase y posteriormente realizaban el examen formativo. Unos días después, se entregaban a los estudiantes los exámenes corregidos para realizar una sesión de retroalimentación. En ésta se comentaban todas las preguntas y se hacía hincapié en los conceptos que no habían sido asimilados de forma correcta. Se hace una valoración muy positiva de la experiencia tanto por la alta satisfacción mostrada por los estudiantes como por el éxito académico final de éstos.

Translated abstract

ABSTRACT In the present paper, we explain our experience using three popular/commercial films to carry out formative assessment in teaching Psychology to students of Medicine and Biology. In both cases, the students watched the films during the intended class hours, and the, following day they completed a formative exam. A few days later, the corrected exams were given back to the students in order to carry out a feedback session. The aim was to deal with all their questions but focussing more closely on those answered with a lesser degree of success. We make a very positive evaluation of our experience, not only because of the satisfaction of the students but also because of their academic performance.

Formative assessment: a key to deep learning?

Alison Rushton (2005)

A paradigm shift in assessment culture has emphasized the importance of formative assessment. The existing evidence supports the identification of feedback as the central component of formative assessment. Feedback provides information about the existing gap between the actual and desired levels of performance. The existing evidence suggests various characteristics of effective feedback, for example, ensuring that feedback is construct-referenced and student referenced. An exploration of the existing educational literature provides evidence for the emphasis on formative assessment. This paper evaluates the pedagogical implications of formative assessment to deep learning. A constructivist approach, emphasizing the principles of adult learning and placing emphasis on the student is advocated. However, in applying the wider educational literature to healthcare, it is questioned if the paradigm shift in assessment culture has occurred as the majority of the existing literature is centred on summative assessment.
