Korean J Med Educ 2025;37(4):391-400.
Published online November 27, 2025
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2025.352
Purpose
This study evaluated Mongolia’s undergraduate occupational therapy program using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) model, drawing on feedback from students, alumni, faculty, and program managers to understand its current state and identify areas for improvement.
Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional survey using the CIPP evaluation model. The model-based questionnaire requested responses using a Likert scale from 1 to 5. Responses were collected from 34 students, 19 alumni, 24 faculty members, and five program management team members. They were analyzed quantitatively using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results
All participants expressed satisfaction with the context, process, and product components of the occupational therapy program, with scores of 3.4 or higher. For the input component, the faculty members and program managers gave satisfactory ratings, while the students and alumni gave neutral ratings, on average. There was a significant difference between the average input scores of the first-year and third-year students, and between the first-year and fourth-year students (p<0.05). Lecturers teaching basic professional subjects rated the program’s inputs higher than those teaching general subjects. On average, the students rated the program’s “context” higher than alumni, while faculty members rated “input” higher than both students and alumni. Additionally, the program’s managers rated “input” higher than the students (p<0.05).
Conclusion
The occupational therapy program in Mongolia has been improving annually. While it is generally rated as “satisfactory,” there is a need for enhanced resources to better support the program.

Hee Jae Lee, Seok Hoon Kang, Sang In Park, Wan Joo Chun, Kwon In Youk
Korean J Med Educ 2024;36(4):429-434.
Published online October 17, 2024
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2024.308
Purpose
This study aimed to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of case-based learning (CBL) within a basic-clinical integrated educational program using the Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) evaluation model.
Methods
The CBL program was integrated into the Pharmacology–Clinical Case Practice component of the pharmacology course, a mandatory course for first-year medical students. To evaluate the program, a CIPP model-based questionnaire was developed, assessing needs, goals, resources, educational management, and outcomes. To ensure the reliability and validity of the variables, factor analysis was performed, reducing an initial set of 28 items to 18 final observation variables distributed across four factors. The survey, designed to measure learner satisfaction, was administered to 37 students who participated in the Pharmacology–Clinical Case Practice course during the first semester of 2022.
Results
Participants rated their satisfaction with the CBL program based on the CIPP model (on a 5-point scale), giving an average score of 4.17. This suggests that learners who followed the CBL program combining basic and clinical components generally found the program operationally effective with positive outcomes.
Conclusion
The teaching model and evaluation model applied in this study can be utilized in various majors when operating CBL classes that link basic and clinical education in medical schools in the future.

Beyond the surface: unraveling global health curriculum insights through interviews of learners and educators using the CIPP model
Yoonjung Lee, Jayoung Park, Woong-Han Kim, Jwa-Seop Shin, Hyun Bae Yoon
Korean J Med Educ 2024;36(1):41-50.
Published online February 28, 2024
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2024.283
Purpose
Our study aimed to delve beyond a surface-level understanding and explore the various dimensions of the global health curriculum from the perspective of both learners and educators using the Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) model.
Methods
From 2020 to 2021, interviews were conducted with a total of 10 individuals, including five students who had taken at least one elective course and at least one elective research course, three teaching assistants (TA), and two faculty members who had taken more than four global health courses in multiple phases in the global health curriculum. Semi-structured interview questions based on the CIPP model were used and qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis.
Results
The study identified 12 sub-themes. Students held idealized views of global health careers and sought to bridge the gap through global health classes. They desired early exposure to global health courses, emphasizing both pre-medical and clinical phases. Challenges in adjusting course difficulty and recruiting faculty were identified, along with a preference for interactive teaching methods and offline discussions. The curriculum promoted reflection on medicine’s essence, expanded career perspectives, and emphasized competencies like altruism, communication skills, and crisis management in the evolving global health landscape.
Conclusion
This study showed that a comprehensive approach is possible from the perspective of learners and educators by identifying strengths, weaknesses, and the value of the curriculum’s goals, plans, implementations, and results through the CIPP model. For optimal curriculum design, a sequential approach from basic to advanced courses is essential, promoting hands-on global health experiences for students.

Summative program evaluation of a Student-Led Seminar Series in the subject of physiology: an outcome-based study
Vinu Vij, Pallavi Chitnis, Sadhana Mendhurwar
Korean J Med Educ 2022;34(1):41-48.
Published online March 1, 2022
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2022.218
Purpose
Active involvement of students in their learning process is a recommended andragogical approach to increase student engagement. Many new teaching-learning strategies based on active learning have been implemented, but their efficacies to achieve the proposed benefits of attaining knowledge, skills, and attitude have not been evaluated, especially in the field of medical education. We substituted passive learning in the conventional tutorial classes with an active-learning strategy of Student-Led Seminar Series (SLSS) in the subject of physiology over 4 months and performed program evaluation for the SLSS.
Methods
Sixty-four first-year medical undergraduate students volunteered to participate, who were divided into groups to present seminars on the allocated topics under the guidance of a mentor. At the end of 4 months, program evaluation was done using Kirkpatrick’s model of evaluation—levels 1 and 2, which correspond to reaction and learning, respectively.
Results
Statistically significant improvement was observed in students’ satisfaction, and the self-perceived increase was observed in knowledge, skills, and attitude.
Conclusion
Program evaluation of SLSS not only established the significant impact of SLSS as an andragogical approach but also helped us in the improvisation of the program for the next cycle.

The pharmacology course for preclinical students using team-based learning
Do-Hwan Kim, Jung-Ho Lee, Soon Ae Kim
Korean J Med Educ 2020;32(1):35-46.
Published online March 1, 2020
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2020.151
Purpose
A pharmacology course in undergraduate medical education aims to enable students to cultivate the ability of applying drugs in the clinical context using basic scientific knowledge. Although team-based learning could be a useful approach, the literature on pharmacology education using team-based learning is limited. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a pharmacology course using team-based learning.
Methods
We developed an “integrated clinical pharmacology” course for first-year medical students. All 49 students enrolled in the course. Individual and group scores were recorded for each session, and a post-course survey was conducted after the course. We compared the performance of the current class to that of a previous class based on scores in a nationwide test conducted at the end of every year.
Results
The reactions of the students were generally positive, with the exception of their perception of the preparatory burdens for the individual test. Throughout the team-based learning sessions, the achievement at the group level was significantly higher than at the individual level. In the nationwide test, however, when we divided students into high and low achiever groups, only the low achievers demonstrated significant improvement compared to the cohort from the previous year.
Conclusion
The study demonstrates that team-based learning could be an effective way of teaching pharmacology to medical students in the preclinical stage. Although most of the students were actively engaged regardless of their preparedness, low-achieving students in particular seemed to gain more benefits than high achievers regarding the acquisition of knowledge.

Evaluation of critical thinking course for premedical students using literature and film
Do-Hwan Kim
Korean J Med Educ 2019;31(1):19-28.
Published online March 1, 2019
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2019.115
Purpose
Premedical education is one stage in which various educational approaches are used to promote critical thinking. Given that critical thinking ability could be regarded as one of the intended outcomes of social science and humanities education, this study explored the effectiveness of a course to promote critical thinking in a premedical curriculum using both literature and film.
Methods
Fifty-one 2nd year premedical students enrolled in a ‘Critical Thinking for Premeds’ course. Students were required to read or watch a selected material, submit group discussion agendas, attend five group discussion sessions, and write critical essays. Five tutors facilitated the group discussions, observed and assessed the students’ performance and critical essay. Students’ critical thinking disposition and opinion on assigned reading materials were examined before and after the course. A program evaluation survey was conducted to investigate the students’ reaction after the course.
Results
On average, students appreciated 78.6% of the total assigned materials. The students indicated that group discussions and the narrative comments of facilitators contributed the most to develop critical thinking. After the course, the students’ tendency preferring cheaper price books, as well as medicine-related books decreased significantly. Students who had critical essay scores greater than or equal to the median demonstrated a significant improvement in critical thinking disposition scores.
Conclusion
The course was well-accepted by premedical students and had several positive outcomes. A more effective use of the course could be anticipated with a clearer explanation of the purpose, the consideration of previous reading experience, and use of complementary learning activities.

Evaluating the short-term effects of a communication skills program for preclinical medical students
Young-Mee Lee, Young Hee Lee
Korean J Med Educ 2014;26(3):179-187.
Published online September 1, 2014
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2014.26.3.179
Purpose
Regardless of the growing importance of communication skills as a core clinical competence, few studies have determined the effects of communication skills courses in undergraduate medical curricula in Asian medical schools. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a communication skills program for preclinical medical students.
Methods
A communication skills course was provided to 111 second-year medical students in a medical college in Korea. Students’ self-assessed competency of communication skills was evaluated by a questionnaire survey. To examine the improvement in observed communication skills, the students’ encounters with standardized patients (SPs) were assessed at the first session and at the final course assessment. A structured checklist, consisting of 25 communication skills items, was used for the assessment.
Results
Students’ self-assessed competency of communication skills increased significantly after completion of the course (p<0.001). The observed communication skills scores also improved significantly at the end of the course; the mean scores of the first SPs encounters was 49.6 (standard deviation [SD], 11.1), and those of cases A and B at the final assessment were 61.5 (SD, 8.4) and 69.6 (SD, 7.8), respectively (F61=269.54, p<0.001).
Conclusion
Even a short period of medical communication skills course was beneficial in developing and improving communication skills competency in preclinical medical students. Further studies should be followed to examine whether the acquisition of communication skills during preclinical studies can be sustained into clerkship and actual practice.

Analysis on Teaching Evaluation of Clinical Clerkship at Korean Medical Schools
Eun Jung Im, Bong-Hyun Chang
Korean J Med Educ 2011;23(2):119-126.
Published online June 30, 2011
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2011.23.2.119
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the teaching evaluation of clinical clerkship at Korean medical schools, and to suggest a desirable improvement for the clinical teaching evaluation in the future.
METHODS
A questionnaire survey was conducted with a total of 9 multiple-choice questions and 1 essay-type question. The multiple-choice questions were analyzed by the frequency analysis using SPSS 17.0, and the essay-type question was coded by the content analysis.
RESULTS
Survey results were as follows: First, clinical teaching evaluations via online (51.35%) were implemented once a year (94.59%) in most medical schools. Second, the self-made questionnaires by medical school (64.86%) rather than borrowing or adaptation (35.14%) were being used more often as teaching evaluation tool. Third, 37.84% medical schools used the specific form by class type, whereas 62.16% medical schools took the general form regardless of class type. Finally, evaluation tool (n=8), lack of concern and attention to teaching evaluation (n=4), formalities of evaluation (n=4), etc. were exposed as problems of clinical teaching evaluation. With regard to evaluation items, the development of specific questions was required.
CONCLUSION
Teaching evaluation can be used as effective educational tools to improve the clinical clerkship program. To this end, clinical teaching evaluation tools reflecting the characteristics of clinical practice need to be developed.

Developing and Testing an Evaluation Tool to Measure Clinical Teaching
Eun-Jung Im
Korean J Med Educ 2011;23(1):49-59.
Published online March 31, 2011
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2011.23.1.49
PURPOSE
Teaching evaluation tools can be used to provide feedback to medical educators and help them improve their teaching skills. The purpose of this study was to develop a clinical teaching evaluation tool and test its efficacy.
METHODS
The draft tool was developed based on clinical education literature and was modified by the stakeholder groups. To examine the quality of the instrument, content and construct validity, as well as reliability and fitness were analyzed. Content validity was tested by the stakeholder groups using a survey, and construct validity was verified by confirmatory factor analysis using LISREL 8.8. Internal consistency of items was assessed thorough Cronbach alpha estimation. Rasch analysis using Winstep 3.65 was performed to estimate the fitness of the tool.
RESULTS
The resulting tool consisted of 4 large categories, 25 small categories, and 43 items. According to the test results, the average importance of all 43 items was 4.03 (3.63 to 4.29). Cronbach alpha was 0.9689, and the correlation coefficients between the items were high. With regard to construct validity, 10 items needed minor modifications in the category setting. As the infit (0.76 to 1.23) and outfit (0.75 to 1.40) indices show, 42 items were fit to the item response theory.
CONCLUSION
The clinical teaching evaluation tool that has been developed in this study is valid and reliable and fits the item response theory. It can be used as an evaluation method in a variety of clinical teaching settings.

Original Article

Are Medical Students Satisfied with Their Medical Professionalism Education?
Yera Hur, Ji Ha Kim, Chang Jin Choi
Korean J Med Educ 2010;22(1):65-70.
Published online March 31, 2010
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2010.22.1.65
PURPOSE
This study aims to examine the satisfaction of undergraduate medical students with their medical professionalism education.
METHODS
Two hundred and one premedical students and 1,287 medical students (from year 1 to 4) participated in a five-point Likert scale survey. There were 27 items in the premedical students' survey and 31 items in the medical students' questionnaire. Statistical analysis including one-way ANOVA was performed.
RESULTS
Among the 27 items concerning premedical professionalism education, only six topics scored "average" level. In the survey of medical students only nine items out of 31 were rated "average" which did not reach the satisfactory level. Nine items from the medical students' survey showed significant positive improvements in satisfaction as the academic year increased; however, the changes were not large enough for any of the topics to receive a satisfactory score.
CONCLUSION
Overall students were dissatisfied with their professionalism education. The reasons for these results and possible approaches for improving students' satisfaction should be considered in future research.

Methods of Effective Team-Based Learning Administration and Expected Effects on Medical Education
A Ra Cho, Sang Ick Han, Sang Heon Yoon, Joo Hyun Park, Nam Jin Yoo, Sun Kim
Korean J Med Educ 2010;22(1):47-55.
Published online March 31, 2010
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2010.22.1.47
PURPOSE
The aim of this study was to analyze the results of quantitative and qualitative student evaluations of team-based learning (TBL) and student achievement evaluations during TBL.
METHODS
Questionnaires that evaluated medical student perception and self-assessment of the TBL experience included 38 questions on the TBL process. Also, we used scores from the TBL session to investigate student academic achievement.
RESULTS
Our results showed that the more proper the educational environments were, the more focused students were on team learning. According to the distribution period for preliminary assignments, there was a difference in self-directed learning. In addition, team members had the opportunity to learn new knowledge by interacting with each other, and when they had the experience of feedback, they understood the instruction topics through team learning better. With regard to peer evaluation, the students who recognized the importance of assessment studied more sincerely and honestly. By experiencing the TBL process, every team showed a high significance in the group readiness assurance test score compared with the individual readiness assurance test score, and student satisfaction with the TBL and expectation levels about capacity strengthening increased as well.
CONCLUSION
TBL is an effective teaching and learning method and has positive impacts on student academic achievement. A study on student academic achievement and perception of TBL is expected to provide medical educators with suggestions on planning teaching strategies for effective TBL administration.

Effects of Differences in Problem-Based Learning Course Length on Academic Motivation and Self-Directed Learning Readiness in Medical School Students
So Jung Yune, Sun Ju Im, Sun Hee Lee, Sun Yong Baek, Sang Yeoup Lee
Korean J Med Educ 2010;22(1):23-31.
Published online March 31, 2010
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2010.22.1.23
PURPOSE
Problem-based learning (PBL) is an educational approach in which complex authentic problems serve as the context and stimulus for learning. PBL is designed to encourage active participation during learning. The goal of this study was to study the effects of PBL on academic motivation and self-directed learning readiness in medical school students.
METHODS
The subjects of this study were 190 students in the 1st and 2nd grade of medical school. The period of the PBL course was two weeks for Year 1 and five weeks for Year 2 students. Students completed one module over one week. Academic motivation tests and self-directed learning readiness tests were performed before and after the PBL course. The differences between the two groups were analyzed using paired t-test and repeated measures MANCOVA.
RESULTS
PBL had positive effects on academic self-efficacy (self-control efficacy, task-level preference) and academic failure tolerance (behavior, task-difficulty preference) as academic motivation. PBL had a mildly positive effect on self-directed learning readiness. In addition, the five-week PBL course had greater positive effects on academic motivation than the two-week course but not with regard to self-directed learning readiness.
CONCLUSION
Medical students engage in academic motivation and self-directed learning readiness during PBL, suggesting that the five-week PBL course has greater positive effects than the two-week course. Future studies are needed to confirm the most effective periods of PBL.

Perception of Medical Students on Real-Time Class Evaluation Using Mobile Phone Survey System
A Ra Cho, Soo Jung Lee, Sang Heon Yoon, Nam Jin Yoo, Sun Kim, Joo Hyun Park
Korean J Med Educ 2010;22(1):15-21.
Published online March 31, 2010
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2010.22.1.15
PURPOSE
The aim of this study is to investigate the advantage of real-time class evaluation over course evaluation in integrated courses and to explore the usefulness and availability of a mobile phone survey system as a real-time class evaluation tool.
METHODS
In six integrated courses at the preclinical second year both course and class evaluations were performed. Class evaluations were carried out 206 times right after every class by a mobile phone survey system that depended on mobile phones to send information. A survey was performed to identify students' perception on real-time class evaluation and the mobile phone survey system.
RESULTS
The course evaluation score was found to have greater than 95% confidence interval of class evaluations at 5 of 6 courses. Class evaluations yielded more information on educational content and teaching strategy than course evaluations. A higher score was given in class evaluation regarding effectiveness on improving quality of education (3.77 vs. 2.15) and sincerity during evaluation (3.87 vs. 2.49). Of the three major evaluation tools, such as paper, web and mobile phone, majority of students preferred mobile phones especially in terms of accessibility (89%), familiarity (75.3%), and time (74%).
CONCLUSION
In integrated courses, real-time class evaluations could yield more information and better sincerity than course evaluations. Real-time class evaluations could be successfully performed through a mobile phone survey system compared with that of paper- or web-based methods.

Brief Communication
Experience and Consideration on Online Course Evaluation by Medical Students
So Dug Lim, Jongmin Lee, Hyung Seok ParK, Jae-Ran Yu, Kyung Yung Lee, In Sook Sohn, Ran Lee
Korean J Med Educ 2008;20(4):367-371.
Published online December 31, 2008
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3946/kjme.2008.20.4.367
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to present our thoughts on the medical student evaluation of the courses via online at Konkuk University School of Medicine (KUSM) and to prompt us to improve the course evaluation system.
METHODS
Electronic questionnaire for computer-aided course evaluation via online was completed by 93 medical students who attended 32 block lectures at KUSM in 2007. The questionnaire consisted of 21 evaluation items. Frequency analysis of response on the evaluation items was conducted to find out the key features. RESULTS: Evaluation forms for 32 lectures were received from the attendees via online. An average response rate was 63.8%. Among 17 Likert-scaled items, more negative response was observed in class quantity, studying method guidance, lecture note, teaching methods, and relevance of final examination. CONCLUSION: The current course evaluation at KUSM includes more questions that request students to state the overall quality of course modules than the detailed quality or skill of each lecturer. As the objective of the course evaluation is to promote students' learning and to give a feedback to the lecturer, the current consideration on the course evaluation prompted us to reorganize the design of the questionnaire according to the objective.
