BACKGROUND: Ethnic and social diversity in contemporary societies is not adequately reflected among medical residents and medical specialists, and this disparity may also exist within hospital pharmacy. Although at least 35% of pharmacy students have a Turkish, African, Latin American or Asian (TALA) background, it remains unclear whether this extends to hospital pharmacy residents. This study examined the diversity among hospital pharmacy reside…

Curricular fit perspective on motivation in higher education
Open AccessRob Kickert, Marieke Meeuwisse et al.ARTICLEHigher Education2022
In this article, we present a curricular perspective that can be used to understand students’ focus on assessment in higher education. We propose that the degree of alignment between the objectives and assessment of the curriculum plays a crucial role in students’ motivation. In case of perfect alignment, all objectives have an equitable probability of being assessed. Thus, all learning contributes to performance equitably. Consequently, the moti…

Assessment policies and academic progress
Open AccessRob Kickert, Marieke Meeuwisse et al.ARTICLEAssessment & Evaluation in Higher…2021
Despite the benefits swift academic progress holds for many stakeholders, there is scarce literature on how academic progress may be improved by changes to assessment policies. Therefore, we investigated academic progress of first-year students after an alteration of characteristics of the assessment policies in three large course programmes: business administration (n = 2048) changed the stakes; medicine (n = 1630) changed the stakes and perform…

Therefore, the current research investigated performance, motivation and self-regulation for two groups of students following the same statistics course, but under two assessment policies: education and child studies (ECS) students studied under an asse…
