A 25\u2010item questionnaire, developed from previous instruments and refined through expert review by four faculty members, covered six thematic areas. Sample size was estimated using Cochran's formula. Descriptive statistics, chi\u2010square tests with Cram\u00e9r's V, Benjamini\u2013Hochberg correction, and thematic analysis were used.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 208 invited students, 176 completed the survey, and 165 valid responses were analysed (84 preclinical, 81 clinical). Both groups valued e\u2010portfolios for self\u2010reflection. After correction, technical difficulties were more frequent among preclinical students (pBH\u2009=\u20090.012, V\u2009=\u20090.25). Clinical students perceived e\u2010portfolios as fairer than traditional assessment (pBH\u2009=\u20090.039, V\u2009=\u20090.23), preferred written feedback (pBH\u2009=\u20090.012, V\u2009=\u20090.28), and revised portfolio content more frequently (pBH\u2009=\u20090.020, V\u2009=\u20090.25).
