Self-regulated learning lens on trainee perceptions of the mini-CEX: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The formative aspect of the mini-clinical evaluation exercise (mini-CEX) in postgraduate medical workplace-based assessment is intended to afford opportunities for active learning. Yet, there is little understanding of the perceived relationship between the mini-CEX and how trainees self-regulate their learning. Our objective was to explore trainees' perceptions of their mini-CEX experiences from a learning perspective, using Zimmerman's self-regulated learning theoretical framework as an interpretive lens.

Design

Qualitative, using semi-structured interviews conducted in 2017. The interviews were analysed thematically.

Setting

Geriatric medicine training.

Participants

Purposive sampling was employed to recruit geriatric medicine trainees in Melbourn
