Abstract

Purpose: This study examined to examine the relationship between intragroup peer evaluation and Self-Directed Learning Readiness(SDLR) in a leadership class that used a project learning method. Moreover, it identified the specific components of the SDLR that predicted the peer evaluation results. Methods: The research subject pool comprised of 47 3rd year students. Each team was composed of 4~5 members, each of whom evaluated all other members on his or her team SDLR was measured by using SDLR-K-96. Results: SDLR and peer assessment scores had a positive relationship, confirming that SDLR was an important variable that could predict the peer evaluation scores. Among the SDLR factors, ‘openness to challenge' was shown to have the highest predictive power for the peer assessment. Conclusion: Medical schools should provide students with learning opportunities on leadership through diverse learning methods such as project learning. The ability to do self-directed learning in such a leadership course in medical education is important for successful team building.
