Review of undergraduate small group teaching with television in general practice.

To help new part-time lecturers to develop skill in undergraduate small group teaching, videorecorded seminars conducted by each lecturer were reviewed at a series of staff meetings using analyses produced by experienced full-time staff. One year later a second series of comparable seminars was recorded and, using a simple method of communication analysis, the lecturers were found to be less opinionated and more non-directive towards students.
