Learning assessment in interprofessional education (Scopus).

Abstract

Abstract Background: Interprofessional Education (IPE) is defined as situations in which professionals or students from two or more different programs learn from, about, and with each other. The aim is to enhance collaboration and the quality of health services. In developing IPE, it is important to use active methodologies, perceiving students as active protagonists in knowledge construction. When considering innovative teaching perspectives, it is essential to discuss learning assessment. Every educational program should have two forms of assessment: program evaluation and student assessment of knowledge, skills, and/or attitudes acquired through the educational program. One critical aspect of assessing learning in IPE is the pedagogical approach declared by the educational program. Methods: Integrative Literature Review (RIL) is an analysis methodology that systematically finds and assesses scientific investigations available on the investigated topic. RIL involves six steps: (I) - Choosing the research question; (2) - Defining inclusion and exclusion criteria for the study; (III) - Collecting data or characterizing the literature search; (IV) - Rigorously assessing studies; (V) - Explaining and analyzing the found studies; and (VI) - Presenting and interpreting results clearly. The research question for this review was developed using the Population, Interest, and Context inclusion strategy. Discussion: This protocol outlines the review method that will describe pedagogical approaches used in assessing learning in IPE initiatives, providing guidance and key information on learning assessment for educators, researchers, and policymakers.
