Medical student formative assessment through online learning portfolios and their impact on university summative assessments

Problem statement :





Aim :

The essential goal of this research is to find out the evidentiary impact of original work done by students over time in years, reflected in their formative learning currently archived in their open access online learning portfolios, in being able to impact their university final summative assessments 

Objectives :

1) Assess the online learning learning portfolios of a selected sample of students from a particular batch who have logged the content in those portfolios over their years spent from 3rd semester to 9th semester and provide a qualitative and quantitative estimate of their learning over the years aka formative assessment 

2) Assess the process of their university summative assessment utilizing archived qualitative and quantitative data collected during the assessments and qualitatively evaluate the impact of their afore mentioned formative learning portfolios on their summative assessments 

Methodology :

Initial invite to potential researcher 

This is an invitation to you and some other esteemed researchers in our network to participate in a study and to become a coauthor where we are trying to see if one can predict the final university outcomes that have been already decided by a panel of four university examiners.


The researcher and potential coauthor has to choose which students have failed, passed or aced the university finals from a random selection of three groups of student samples containing those who have passed, failed, aced the final university exams by going through their university final exam videos as well as formative assessment online learning portfolios. 



The selected coded student hall ticket numbers are :


9007117022



9007117005



9007117023



9007117026



9007117002



9007117018



9007117032



9007117043



9007117062



9007117036



9007117051



9007117047



9007117065



9007117067



9007117073



9007117066



9007117069



9007117064



9007117114



9007117110



9007117105



9007117120



9007117108



9007117119



9007117131



9007117141



9007117148



9007117138



9007117163



9007117162



9007117165



9007117192



9007117174


Their online learning portfolios and formative assessments are available with their hall ticket numbers here: https://generalmedicinedepartment.blogspot.com/2023/01/9th-sem-2018-batch-all-internal-marks.html?m=1


And their final university practical assessment vivas with hall ticket numbers are available here: https://youtube.com/@finalmbbspart-iigmuniversi1452


Will be looking forward to a speedy assessment of the above data from the randomly selected population sample shared above preferably before their university results are out else it may bias the potential predictability of the above shared data. The researcher has to go through the linked student data in the above sample of hall ticket numbers and mention their prediction, pass, fail, aced in their whatsapped or emailed feedback along with their qualitative narrative of their reasons for their decision (what was good, bad average or ugly as gleaned from their data and why). 


This is a continuation of our previous medical education project published here: https://medicinedepartment.blogspot.com/2021/06/draft-3a-scholarship-of-integration-and.html?m=0

Results of independent invited researcher evaluation of the summative assessment videos combined with past quantitative and qualitative formative assessment of their online learning portfolios over their entire MBBS course (preliminary 8 as of 20/5/2023):


Sample independently blogged researcher assessment here : 

Next steps :

1) Thematic analysis of 8 researcher predictions and comparisons with final university exam results by 4 examiners 

2) Thematic analysis of the entire batch online learning portfolios and comparing their impact on the entire summative assessments of competence 

3) Thematic analysis of multiple batches (samples from 2017 and 2019 ) and comparing their impact on the entire summative assessments of competence. All batches online learning portfolios are available in our dashboard here which is growing everyday: https://medicinedepartment.blogspot.com/2022/02/?m=0
