Pilot study to evaluate a novel measure of self-perceived competencies among dental students.

ABSTRACT:

PRISM is a novel approach to support self-reflection and learning appraisal in dental students, based on a visual metaphor. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether PRISM measurments would be reproducible and sensitive to detect learning progress in undergraduate dental students in their clinical years.
