Peer evaluations are often utilized to allow student pharmacists practice in giving and receiving feedback. In a small class setting, these can easily be completed and feedback distributed quickly. However, in the larger class setting, reviewing and disseminating peer feedback can be quite cumbersome, especially if using paper format. The purpose of this educational activity was to create a process for peer evaluations that allows for efficient collection and dissemination of peer feedback of presentations of student pharmacists and describe the student experience with this new format.
In Research Topics in Pharmacy II, an electronic peer-evaluation tool was created using electronic examination software to collect and distribute this peer review in a timely fashion during and after each class session. At the completion of this course, a survey was distributed to collect student pharmacists' perception of this electronic peer-review process.
A total of 63 of 91 students (69%) completed the survey. The majority of the students (98.4%) "strongly agreed" or "agreed" the peer-evaluation items made it easy to provide feedback to their peers and 79% preferred this electronic method of feedback vs. paper format. Overall, 93.6% of student pharmacists felt they were more engaged during the presentations as a result of providing electronic feedback.
Maximizing our resources by creating an electronic peer evaluation with our current examination software, allowed for an efficient means of obtaining and disseminating peer review that was timely and well-received by students.
同行评估常用于让学生药剂师练习给予和接受反馈。在小班教学中，这些评估很容易完成，反馈也能迅速分发。然而，在大班教学中，审查和传播同行反馈可能相当繁琐，尤其是使用纸质形式时。本教育活动的目的是创建一个同行评估流程，以便高效收集和传播学生药剂师展示的同行反馈，并描述学生对这种新形式的体验。
在《药学研究主题II》课程中，使用电子考试软件创建了一个电子同行评估工具，以便在每次课程期间和之后及时收集和分发这种同行评审。在本课程结束时，发放了一份调查问卷，以收集学生药剂师对这种电子同行评审过程的看法。
91名学生中有63名（69%）完成了调查。大多数学生（98.4%）“强烈同意”或“同意”同行评估项目使他们易于向同伴提供反馈，79%的学生更喜欢这种电子反馈方式而非纸质形式。总体而言，93.6%的学生药剂师认为，由于提供电子反馈，他们在展示过程中更投入。
利用我们现有的考试软件创建电子同行评估，从而最大限度地利用资源，提供了一种高效的方式来获取和传播同行评审，这种方式及时且受到学生的欢迎。
