 Psychoeducational evaluation and students’ sense of self‐efficacy: Case studies and digital professional files 
Psychoeducational evaluation is an important area of professional activity in contemporary practice. Some studies have shown that the continuing education needs of young professionals include the completion of evaluation mandates. Pre-service training should facilitate the effective transfer of professional skills expected at the time of entry into the profession. The purpose of this study is to explore whether the use of three case studies based on authentic clinical situations coupled with digital professional files increases students’ sense of self-efficacy (SE) with respect to the completion of a psychoeducational evaluation. A sequential explanatory mixed design was chosen. A survey based on the Guide d’évaluation de la personne en difficulté d’adaptation was completed by 36 students, before and after they were exposed to the pedagogical methods. A focus group of nine students was conducted to assess their perceptions of the contribution of the method used in the development of their SE. The quantitative analyses were conclusive in terms of the increase in students’ SE. The qualitative analyses allowed us to identify the factors that contributed to the perceived effect of using both case studies and digital professional files to enhance competence in conducting a psychoeducational evaluation. Nevertheless, limitations related to the small sample size should be considered. Future research is needed to explore the transferability of the SE developed in the context of pre-service training during professional integration. Relevant implications for university instructors are anticipated.
