Evaluation and assessment
Whereas , assessment is the process of documenting, usually in measurable terms, knowledge, skills, attitudes and beliefs. In 1990, George Miller proposed a
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "EVALUATION" AND "ASSESSMENT"
classification, in the form of a pyramid, for methods of assessment in medical education.
There’s a huge difference
'Knows' (knowledge) is
between evaluation and
at the lowest level of
assessment .In fact , evaluation is a broader concept, measuring the value of educational
activities, programs, curricula etc .
the pyramid followed by 'knows how' (competence), 'shows how' (performance), and 'does' (action).
Accreditation
It has 2 main objectives :
ACCREDITATION IN MEDICAL SCHOOLS
First It helps medical schools in self evaluation and

When we talk about accreditation , we can’t not mention WFME (World Federation of Medical Education ) the founder of this concept . WFME is a not-for-profit, nongovernmental organisation aiming to achieve higher quality of medical education through accreditation and promoting standards.

THE LADDER OF STUDENTS' ENGAGEMENT IN MEDICAL EDUCATION
Manipulation Decoration Tokenism Information Consultation Student-led action Student/educator equity
MANIPULATION
STUDENTS ARE PASSIVE SUBJECTS TO THE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE, AND ARE NOT ALLOWED INTO ANY GOVERNANCE-RELATED DECISIONS.
DECORATION
STUDENTS ARE USED TO SHOWCASE THAT SCHOOLS ALLOW STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN GOVERNANCE-RELATED ACTIVITIES, YET IN REALITY STUDENTS ARE ONLY PRESENT WITHOUT CONTRIBUTING, JUST BECAUSE IT IS MANDATORY
TOKENISM
INFORMATION
STUDENTS HAVE THE IMPRESSION THEY ARE INVOLVED, YET MEDICAL SCHOOLS HAVE ANY GENUINE DESIRE TO MEANINGFULLY ENGAGE THEM. IN SUCH A SITUATION, STUDENTS ARE NOT INFORMED, CANNOT GIVE INPUT AND THEY DON’T HAVE SUFFICIENT OPPORTUNITIES TO ENGAGE
THIS IS THE FIRST ACTUAL LEVEL ALLOWING MEANINGFUL INVOLVEMENT OF STUDENTS TO HAPPEN AT SCHOOLS. STUDENTS ARE DEALT WITH AS SOURCES OF INFORMATION, BY HAVING REPRESENTATIVES INFORM MEDICAL STUDENTS ABOUT DECISIONS MADE.
CONSULTATION
IT HAPPENS WHEN STUDENTS BECOME CONSIDERED AS EXPERTS WHO CAN INFORM SCHOOLS SIGNIFICANTLY, AS SCHOOLS CAN TREAT STUDENTS AS CONSULTANTS. HOWEVER, EVEN WHEN STUDENTS ARE CONSULTED, TEACHERS MAY OR MAY NOT ACT BASED ON THE STUDENTS’ GUIDANCE.
STUDENT-LED ACTION
AT THIS LEVEL, COMPLETELY STUDENT-DRIVEN ACTIVITIES TAKE PLACE,WHILE TEACHERS ARE NOT INFLECTING AUTHORITY ON STUDENTS. INSTEAD, TEACHERS ARE PRESENT INVISIBLY OR PASSIVELY TO SUPPORT STUDENTS.
STUDENT/EDUCATOR EQUITY
WITH THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF INVOLVEMENT, STUDENTS BECOME COMPLETELY EQUITABLE WITH TEACHERS IN SCHOOL ACTIVITIES, WHERE THE IMPACT AND EFFORT OF EACH PARTY GET RECOGNITION, AND EVERYONE GETS OWNERSHIP OF THE
