摘要：Learning environments complying with the cognitive archi_x0002_tecture of learning,immersing learning within a meaningful context (contextualism),making learning an active process (constructivism) and promoting learning in groups (collabo?ration) are more powerful and effective [1].Undergraduate medical students working and learning in small groups may fulfill many of these requirements.Small group learning has been shown to have a positive effect on a variety of medical competencies [2,3].The small group offers a learning environ?ment where students can develop their self-directed learning skills and get the opportunity to collaborate with other group members to achieve both individual and group learning goals [4].A study found that the small group tutorial provided a conductive learning environment which influenced both the students’ personal development and socialization with faculty [4].The authors proposed that the small group may be useful for integrating a diverse student population into a new aca?demic environment.
