Abstract

Personal interviews and group discussions were conducted with all 2nd-year students to examine how they feel about tutorial education used as the core of the basic-medicine course and how they recognize the importance of developing their abilities, which was the aim of this course. Many students showed slight anxiety about the results of their learning with tutorials, felt inadequate in their self-learning ability, and hoped the guidance by instructors would be improved. These findings suggest that students' anxiety will decreased and their willingness to learn will increase if their developed abilities are evaluated appropriately and if they receive adequate feedback. These findings also suggest that a retraining program for experienced instructors is needed to improve their guidance skills and to reinforce the importance of their role.
