Background: Problem based learning ensures that students are actively engaged in their learning- they set their own objectives and they reinforce what they have learned through discussion with their colleagues. This approach is known to promote deep learning, in contrast to much of the superficial learning happens in traditional methods. To support their learning through engaging them in learning activities and providing feedback. Student’s ability to perform in a professional context, to recognize their need to acquire new knowledge and skills and to view learning holistically. Objective of the study was to assess the third year physiotherapy students’ perception of problem based learning sessions in musculoskeletal condition.Methods: The study was conducted on 22 students of III-year physiotherapy graduate course. Sequential arrangement of PBL sessions was implemented by triple jump assessment on osteoarthritis of knee. Post project feedback questionnaire from students obtained from self-assessment, peer assessment. The responses obtained were analyzed.Results: All the student strongly agreed that The PBL scenarios motivated them to use additional learning resources, The PBL scenarios stimulated their interest in musculoskeletal. The students also agreed that the content of the PBL scenarios fitted their level of knowledge; The PBL scenarios effectively illustrated medical concepts. All the students totally agreed that PBL sessions appeared able to assess their own strengths and weaknesses within PBL, accepted and responded to criticism gracefully. Their peers gave input which was focused and relevant to the case, they were able to communicate well with each other. Students agreed that everyone among group completed tasks on time, they were actively participated in session, they shared new relevant information with group hence they felt their peers were responsible and respected.Conclusions: Students felt that the cases effectively illustrated medical concepts and fitted and reinforced the student musculoskeletal knowledge. They were convinced that scenarios motivated them to use additional resources and stimulated their interest and they enjoyed the process.

Background: Peer and self assessment processes are integral to the development of professional behaviours. The purpose of this study was to assess the Rochester Peer Assessment Tool (RPAT) among a group of volunteer first year students.Methods: We assessed feasibility through participation rates. The evidence for the validity of instrument scores was ascertained through an exploratory factor analysis, MANOVA to determine age and gender differences, and a discrepancy analysis between the self and peer data. Reliability analyses included the Cronbach's alpha analysis and G- and D-studies. Students completed a feedback questionnaire to provide data about acceptability.Results: Self and peer data were collected for 46 and 44 students, respectively. Each student had a mean of 7.2 peer assessments (out of a possible 8).  The factor analysis identified two factors, interpersonal skills and work study habits. The discrepancy analysis showed students in the lowest/highest quartiles, as assessed by peers, had higher/lower self means than peer means. The G-coefficient was Ep2 = 0.77. Student feedback was positive.Conclusions: RPAT was feasible in our setting, was acceptable to the students, and has been adopted as a mandatory part of our program for first and second year students. The study added to the evidence base for the reliability and validity of the RPAT instrument scores as a method of assessing professional behaviours.

Introduction: Problem Based Learning tutorial is one of students centered learning method. PSIK UMY applied assessment of student's performance in tutorial process. Tutor gave feedback to the students in every meeting of tutorial in order to make the students performance improved. Based on the evaluation result, there was no significant improvement of student's performance in tutorial because of feedback only given by the tutor so that students have minimal motivation to improve their performance. The purpose of this study was to know the effect of self assessment and peer-assessment to students' performance in tutorial process in PSIK UMY. Methods: This research is quasi experiment with pre and post test design. The number of respondents is 213 students from all of the year that is taken by proportional stratified random sampling. Data processed by univariat analysis and Wilcoxon test. Result: There is a significant difference between students' performance in the first meeting and the second meeting of tutorial. Discussion: There is an effect of self assessment and peer assessment methods to students' performance in tutorial process in PSIK UMY. Keywords: Self assessment, peer assessment, Problem Based Learning tutorial

The article aims to study scientific and methodological features of the ways to enhance students’ learning activities in the context of higher education. The study's theoretical significance is derived from the in-depth analysis of the development of students' learning activity. The study offers the framework of characteristics for the concept of “students’ learning (cognitive) activity”. The main used methods were: analysis, peer-assessment, self-assessment. The interview method was used to make a cognitive profile of the participants, taking into account their psychological characteristics. The authors developed and scientifically tested educational model based on module curricula and interactive teaching methods to enhance students’ learning activity. The authors also reflected the dynamic of the learning activity of the students with disabilities participating in the experiment. The results proved the effectiveness of the developed model of enhancing students' learning activity by using interactive teaching methods. It was concluded that the module curricular and active teaching methods help enhance students with disabilities' learning activity and make them more responsible in respect to the results of their study.

The article is devoted to control and feedback in foreign language teaching in a technogenic environment. The educational process is transformed in terms of the implementation and active use of digital technologies. ICT-rich environment provides new models of interaction between the teacher, students and digital tools. It also enriches the diversity of tasks and expands the range of possible forms of control and feedback. According to the authors, automated evaluation takes place both in out-of-classroom activities and directly in the classroom using Bring Your Own Device technology (BYOD). Automated control contributes to the intensity of the educational process. It provides all the participants with an opportunity to choose a convenient mode of work and get instant feedback, thereby allowing self-assessment and self-reflection of their own actions. When teaching foreign languages, special attention should be paid to chatbot technology. Chatbots imitate human actions and are able to perform standard repetitive tasks. The growing popularity of bots is explained by a wide range of usage spheres and the ability to integrate chatbots into social networks and mobile technologies. In the technogenic educational environment, ICT can be the basis for interaction, co-editing and peer assessment in collaborative projects. In this case, students receive feedback not only from the teacher, but also from other students, which increases the motivation for independent learning. Thus, automated control, self-assessment and peer assessment can both identify problem areas for each student and design an individual learning path, which increases the effectiveness of learning a foreign language.
