One of the main requirements at FOM/SU is to adopt and incorporate a portfolio in the undergraduate learning and assessment process. Aim: This study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate a medical student's portfolio with the ultimate goal of ensuring quality learning performance. Subjects and Methods:A quasi-experimental single-group post-test only designed composed of 90 participants (65 undergraduate medical students and 25 mentors) as a comprehensive sample. The intervention was a newly developed students' portfolio model. Results:After implementing the newly developed students' portfolio model, all participant students agreed that the portfolio included enough entries in each area to make valid judgments, the portfolio included the students' self-evaluations and their reflections on what was learned, the portfolio provided clear evidence of learning to users of the portfolio, and the portfolio providing for student participation and responsibility. Conclusions:This study concluded that most of the studied undergraduate medical students and their mentors agreed that the newly developed students' portfolio was well organized, properly arranged, its purpose clearly stated, and included assessment based on clearly stated criteria of successful performance. | ||||
