Gender-Related Group Dynamics in Problem-Based Learning: A Retrospective Study
Abstract
As problem-based learning (PBL) techniques play an increasingly important role in medical school curricula, programs will require an understanding of which variables enhance or inhibit learning. Through a retrospective study of an "experiment" in which male and female medical students were separated into single-gender tutorial groups, the authors describe gender differences in the styles of participation and subjective experience of men and women in mixed-gender and single-gender tutorial groups. The women students noted an increase in their comfort level in the all-women tutorial group and felt that learning about their own styles in this group helped them participate more effectively in coed groups and later on in other professional settings. The authors make recommendations concerning the implementation of PBL in medical school curricula.
