Abstract:
We previously reported that the tutorial system had a beneficial effect on our students' scores on term-end examinations in 1994: the assessments of the tutorials correlated positively with the results of the term-end test. This time we analyzed each student's assessment of the tutorials, results of the term-end examinations, and responses to a follow-up questionnaire to determine what abilities the tutorial system helped students develop. The results suggest that tutorials help medical students develop analytical ability: a prerequisite for the problem-solving process.
