Student-led tutorials in medical education enhance group dynamics and peer feedback. While overall student performance is comparable, targeted training for student tutors is crucial for problem-based learning (PBL) success.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Pedagogy

Background:

  • Problem-based learning (PBL) is a key medical education strategy.
  • The role of peer tutoring within PBL requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of student-led tutorials (SLT) versus faculty-led tutorials (FLT) in a PBL medical curriculum.
  • To assess student performance, perceptions, and group dynamics in both tutorial formats.

Main Methods:

  • Ninety-one third-year medical students were assigned to either SLT or FLT groups.
  • Evaluations included individual/group performance, examination scores, tutoring skills, and student perceptions.
  • Data were analyzed to compare outcomes between the two tutorial formats.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Student tutors were perceived as better at providing feedback and understanding student difficulties.
  • SLT groups reported better tutorial atmosphere, decision-making, and leader support.
  • Examination scores were comparable, but SLT groups initially struggled with problem analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Peer tutoring positively impacts student performance, group dynamics, and achievement in PBL.
  • Student tutors require specific training to optimize their effectiveness in PBL programs.
  • SLT can be a valuable supplement to traditional faculty-led sessions with appropriate preparation.
