  • Chapter
Advances in Medical Education

Summary

This study was designed to measure change in cognitive learning, teaching behaviours, and attitudes 6 months to 5 years after a workshop on Small Group Teaching. Study participants included 10 faculty members who had attended the workshop between 1988 and 1993, and ten control subjects. Over a three-month period, three distinct instruments were employed to collect data relating to the three areas of learning. The experimental group exhibited more small group teaching skills and greater knowledge about small group teaching than the control group. Differences existed in the use of and attitudes towards this teaching method.
