Small-group tutorial mode has been suggested as a learning method in medical education since the 1970s. The learning effects of this method can be evaluated on the basis of group dynamics. Although the measurement of curative factor and group climate have long been used in therapeutic groups and personal growth groups, a standardized assessment of learning factors in small-group tutorial mode has yet to be established. The authors employed a Group Learning Factor Scale for further evaluation of the effectiveness of small tutorial group in medical education. The Group Learning Factor Scale was a list of 20 items, distributed in 5-point self-rating subscales for measuring several dimensional factors of the group learning process. The test scale was distributed twice to 204 medical students participating in the small tutorial group learning method in the College of Medicine, National Taiwan University at an interval of one month. Facotr analysis was conducted on the ratings from 204 students who completed both the test and the retest. Five factors, namely engagement, interpersonal relationship, avoiding/conflict, interpersonal learning and self-presentation were extracted. Factor analyses showed that the accumulated percentage of variance was 66% and 71% respectively for each analysis. The factor structures are the same in the two tests. Also, test-retest reliability (p=0.000) and internal consistency (Cronbach α =0.85 and 0.86) are established.
