Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine whether an additional year of experiential training fosters the development of professional behaviours in pharmacy students. Surveyed cohorts included experiential year one (EY1) and two (EY2) students, compared to their clinical preceptors. Methods: A validated survey instrument called APIPHANI was utilised to assess professionalism across five distinct domains that aligned with the American Pharmacists Association (AphA) toolkit. Data were analysed by a 2-tailed Mann-Whitney U test. Results: EY2 students exhibited non-statistically significant higher numerical scores than EY1 students in both Knowledge (domain 1) and Professional Involvement (domain 3), and nearly equivalent scores in Proactivity (domain 2) and Integrity (domain 5). Conclusions: These results suggest that an additional year of experiential training expands the knowledge with the EY2 students, moving closer towards the preceptors’ level of knowledge. Students harboured stronger community involvement than preceptors, with the highest reported by EY2 students.

Abstract : Pipetting is one of the most important activities in health laboratory analysis. Knowledge of pipetting must be owned by every health laboratory. Students of health analyst as a candidate of health laboratory who will become medical support service unit is expected to be able to do the pipetting precision and accurately. To get a thorough and accurate results then the results of the analysis must be located within a specifc control area and both in precision and accuracy. Precision and accuracy are responsible for analytical interpretation of test results and testing procedures. The method use in this research is the forward method by 61 people research samples which determined by simple random sampling. While the research design used was observational analytics. Based on the results of the research obtained the level of knowledge of respondents research is 71,38; precision pipetting 99,69% and accuracy pipetting 99,58%. From the data that has been obtained then analyzed statistically using tau kendau test. The result indicates that the level of knowledge and precision has a p=0,640 and correlation coeffcient of -0,044 so that the Ho is accepted, meaning there is no relationship between the level of knowledge and precision meaningful. Meanwhile, the level of knowledge and accuracy of the p=0,574 and correlation coeffcient value is -0,053 so that Ho is accepted, it means there is no relationship between the level of knowledge with accuracy. Abstrak: Pemipetan merupakan salah satu kegiatan yang sangat penting dalam analisa laboratorium kesehatan. Pengetahuan pemipetan harus dimiliki oleh setiap tenaga laboratorium kesehatan. Mahasiswa analis kesehatan sebagai calon tenaga laboratorium kesehatan yang akan menjadi unit pelayanan penunjang medis diharapkan mampu melakukan pemipetan dengan teliti dan akurat. Untuk mendapatkan hasil yang teliti dan akurat maka hasil analisa harus terletak di dalam daerah kontrol tertentu dan baik dalam presisi maupun akurasi. Presisi dan akurasi bertanggung jawab terhadap interpretasi analitik hasil pengujian serta prosedur pengujian. Metode yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode forward oleh sampel penelitian sebanyak 61 orang yang ditentukan secara simple random sampling. Sedangkan desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah observasional analitik. Berdasarkan dari hasil penelitian diperoleh nilai tingkat pengetahuan responden penelitian adalah 71,38; presisi pemipetan 99,69% dan akurasi pemipetannya 99,58%. Dari data yang telah didapatkan kemudian dianalisis secara statistik menggunakan uji kendal tau. Untuk tingkat pengetahuan dengan presisi didapatkan hasil nilai p=0,640 dan koefsien korelasi -0,044 sehingga Ho diterima, berarti tidak ada hubungan antara tingkat pengetahuan dan presisi. Untuk tingkat pengetahuan dengan akurasi nilai p=0,574 dan koefsien korelasi adalah -0,053 sehingga Ho diterima, berarti tidak ada hubungan antara tingkat pengetahuan dengan akurasi.

At the present stage, pedagogical tests are one of the most accessible and developed methods for assessing students' knowledge. Evaluation of the results of global research on testing problems showed that the developers of test items pay special attention to the form and their standardization, the processing of test results and the interpretation of the data obtained, methods of automatic test formation. The goal is to study the possibility of using testing to assess the formation of students' competencies. Materials and methods. Theoretical: a review of psychological and pedagogical literature on research issues, analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization. Results. Testing characterizes a number of properties, the main of which is the objectivity of the assessment of results, the definition of "gaps" in knowledge. The result of testing is obtaining objective information about the quality of knowledge and skills, determining the sections that are the worst learned by the students. All of the above makes it possible to adjust the course of training. Test control can be external, when the subjects are offered a dichotometric range, which contains both completed and unfulfilled tasks on a wide range of issues. During the testing process, students have the opportunity to independently identify gaps in their own knowledge. The study confirms the possibility of using testing in assessing the formation of students' competencies and ultimately provides an increase in the level of knowledge. Conclusion. At the present stage, the introduction of tests into educational practice is an inevitable process, therefore, efforts should be directed to the development of a theoretical platform for the testing system, which will entail an increase in the efficiency of using tests as a form of control.
