Evaluation of a portfolio-based course on self-development for pre-medical students in Korea

We have developed and operated a portfolio-based course aimed at strengthening pre-medical students’ capabilities for self-management and self-improvement. The subjects of this study were 97 students of a pre-medical course “Self-improvement and portfolio I” in 2019. Their learning experience was evaluated through the professor’s assessment of portfolios they had submitted, and the program was evaluated based on the responses of 68 students who completed a survey. The survey questionnaire included 32 items.
