Self-Assessment through Videotaping Compared with Peer and Trainer Feedback.
J Coll Physicians Surg Pak Jan ;25(1):41-5.

Objective: To assess and compare three different types of feedback for presentation skills, self, peer and trainer feedback. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Faculty of Medicine at Atatürk University, Erzurum, Turkey, from March 2012 to December 2012. Methodology: Participants were faculty members and instructor nurses. Each participant gave a 10-minute presentation, which was rated by peers, course trainers and the presenter himself/herself using a thirteen-item questionnaire (designed as a 5-point Likert scale). Peers and trainers conducted the assessment during the presentation while the self-assessment was done later by watching a video recording of the presentation. Comparison of the points between the groups was made using the two-way ANOVA. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationship between the mean scores of self-assessment, peer and trainer assessment. Results: Ten faculty members, 27 instructor nurses and 4 trainers participated in the study. A total of 775 feedback reports were collected for 37 participants. There was no significant difference between the feedback scores of the evaluators as well as the occupation groups (p > 0.05). There was a strong positive and statistically significant correlation between trainer and peer (r = 0.73, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Consequently, there were no differences in the evaluations of presentation skills between different stakeholders. Trainers should use the video recording method to self-evaluate their presentation skills, and they should invite their peers from time to time to improve their own personal development by using peer review methods.
