Peer-assisted learning (PAL) is an educational method where students teach their peers. PAL has been increasingly integrated into medical education in various formats including near-peer tutoring (NPT), reciprocal-peer tutoring (RPT), and peer-to-peer tutoring. This review adds to current literature by focusing exclusively on outcomes from PAL peer tutoring programs implemented in conjunction with basic science courses in medical education. Although the programs differ in size, duration, course, resource availability, and method of evaluation and thus can be difficult to compare, PAL programs overall demonstrate benefits for both tutors and tutees and merit further investigation into optimal methods of implementation.
同伴辅助学习(PAL)是一种学生教同伴的教育方法。PAL已越来越多地以各种形式融入医学教育,包括近同伴辅导(NPT)、相互同伴辅导(RPT)和对等同伴辅导。本综述通过专门关注与医学教育基础科学课程相结合实施的PAL同伴辅导项目的成果,为现有文献增添了内容。尽管这些项目在规模、持续时间、课程、资源可用性以及评估方法等方面存在差异,因此难以进行比较,但总体而言,PAL项目对辅导者和被辅导者都有好处,值得进一步研究最佳实施方法。
