60.044 - The Best Predictor of the Future May Be the Past, but How Accurate Are the Predictions? Estimating Professional Competence Using Diverse Methodologies
Sun, April 19, 8:15 to 9:45am, Hyatt, Floor: West Tower - Gold Level, San FranciscoSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Myriad factors influence achievement over the course of an individual’s education. Focusing on the profession of medicine, this symposium examines the predictive power of past learning and achievement variables on subsequent performance along the continuum of education and training. It includes six studies that examine the predictive utility of individual characteristics, previous assessment outcomes, student feedback, and curriculum on various educational outcomes. These studies model change over time using a diverse set of complimentary quantitative methodological techniques. This symposium aims to provide insights into optimal curriculum design, quality of student assessments, and contributions to student success. While the papers included in this symposium focus on medicine, the substantive educational issues explored and methodological approaches employed remain broadly relevant for other professions.
