A new Teaching Style Inventory (TSI) was developed and validated for assessing tutors in problem-based learning (PBL). The TSI shows good reliability and validity, aiding tutor recruitment and self-awareness.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Psychometrics
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Problem-based learning (PBL) relies heavily on effective tutor guidance.
  • Assessing tutor teaching styles is crucial for optimizing PBL effectiveness.
  • Existing instruments may not adequately capture the nuances of PBL tutoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a self-rating instrument, the Teaching Style Inventory (TSI).
  • To assess diverse teaching styles employed by tutors in PBL settings.
  • To provide a reliable tool for evaluating and enhancing tutor performance.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical framework based on assertive, suggestive, collaborative, and facilitative styles.
  • A 35-item questionnaire developed and content-validated by expert tutors.

  • Data collected from 118 tutors at National Taiwan University College of Medicine.
  • Statistical analyses included item analysis, internal consistency, exploratory factor analysis, and test-retest reliability.

    • Main Results:

    • The final instrument demonstrated good internal consistency (0.73-0.83) and acceptable long-term test-retest reliability (0.54-0.81).
    • Exploratory factor analysis identified a three-factor solution explaining 48.5% of the variance.
    • The instrument showed construct validity, with theoretically opposite styles (assertive and facilitative) negatively correlated.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed Teaching Style Inventory (TSI) is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing PBL tutor teaching styles.
    • The TSI can be utilized by program directors for tutor recruitment and professional development.
    • Further research should explore its applicability to diverse populations and its predictive validity.
