Acupuncture Training Program Evaluation Survey Data

Comprising survey and assessment data from an acupuncture training program evaluation involving 88 undergraduate Korean Medicine students in 2022/2023. It includes quantitative measures such as satisfaction survey results, Korean self-efficacy questionnaire (KSE-12) scores, and practical examination scores, alongside qualitative interview findings. The data was used to assess the effectiveness of a training program developed using a rapid prototyping instructional systems design model.

Use Cases

• Analyze the correlation between KSE-12 scores and practical examination scores to evaluate training impact on clinical communication and technical skills.
• Examine satisfaction survey results to identify specific program components, such as hands-on practice and peer role-play, that received positive feedback.
• Integrate quantitative KSE-12 score changes with qualitative interview themes to provide a mixed-methods evaluation of educational effectiveness.
• Investigate areas for program improvement mentioned in interviews, such as time allocation for practice and the pacing of learning content.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a structured evaluation of a training program with 88 student participants.
• Includes multiple validated assessment types: satisfaction surveys, the KSE-12 questionnaire, practical exam scores, and in-depth interviews.
• Findings are specific, with 97.8% of 45 survey respondents reporting positive reactions to the program.

Limitations

• The dataset is small in scale at 26.3 KB, indicating limited raw data volume.
• Sample is limited to 88 students from a single institution and year, limiting generalizability.
• Specific column structure and raw data rows are not detailed in the provided input.
