摘要：Purpose:This study was aimed to examine whether tutor evaluation in the PBL course assesses different aspects of learning from what written examination assesses. Methods:89 medical students were assessed by Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale (SDLRS) and Learning Orientation Scale (LOS) in March 2004. Their tutor evaluation and written examination scores in the 1st semester of 2004 PBL units were collected in August 2004. Data analyses were conducted using t-test,correlation analysis,and linear regression. Results:SDLRS scores were significantly correlated with tutor evaluation scores,but not with written examination scores. Both schoolwork orientation and academic orientation scores on LOS were significantly associated with tutor evaluation and written examination scores. Tutor evaluation scores were explained significantly by all predictors,such as SDLRS,schoolwork orientation,and academic orientation scores. However,written examination scores were explained significantly by academic orientation only. Conclusions:Tutor evaluation in the PBL assessed student self-directed learning readiness and academic orientation,but written examination did not. The findings show a crucial possibility that tutor evaluation may overcome shortcomings of the written examination. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????�.
