title: Student self-evaluation in clinical education.
abstract: Student self-evaluation can be an important component of clinical education. Through self-evaluation, students may experience increased satisfaction with the educational process and decreased anxiety during evaluation. They also learn the process and importance of goal setting. This article reports on the development and use of a student self-evaluation instrument in a baccalaureate-level radiologic technology program. The instrument's reliability and validity were examined, and information was collected regarding students' satisfaction with the self-assessment process. The authors found that student self-evaluation improved the evaluation process for both students and instructors.
