Situational Judgment tests are recognized as a valid predictor of job performance. In the present study, the students' professionalism capabilities were investigated using the situational judgment test. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023-2024. The situational judgment test includes four scenarios in the faculty situation (classroom) and six scenarios in the workplace situation in the field (hospital and urban pharmacy) with the format of "selected-response format" examined. 160 pharmacy students in different academic years participated. The cut-off scorer of situational judgment test was determined using the Cohen method and the norm-reference method of standard-setting.
The results showed that the scores of students in the situational judgment test were reported as 14.13 ± 6.07. According to Cohen's method, the score of 60 pharmacy students (50%) is lower than the cut-off score. The cut-off score based on the norm-reference method of standard-setting showed that 33 students (20.6%) scored below the cut-off score. The results showed that the students who participated in the professionalism course scored an average of 2.62 higher than the students who did not participate in these training courses. (p-value = 0.015). The development of professional education as a longitudinal program in the pharmacy curriculum is suggested.
情景判断测试被认为是工作绩效的有效预测指标。在本研究中，使用情景判断测试对学生的专业能力进行了调查。这项横断面研究于2023年至2024年进行。情景判断测试包括四种教师情景（课堂）和六种工作场所情景（医院和城市药房），采用“选择反应格式”进行测试。160名不同学年的药学专业学生参与其中。使用科恩方法和标准设定的常模参照方法确定情景判断测试的及格分数。
结果显示，学生在情景判断测试中的分数为14.13±6.07。根据科恩方法，60名药学专业学生（50%）的分数低于及格分数。基于标准设定的常模参照方法得出的及格分数显示，33名学生（20.6%）的分数低于及格分数。结果表明，参加专业课程的学生平均得分比未参加这些培训课程的学生高2.62分。（p值=0.015）。建议将专业教育发展为药学课程中的纵向项目。
