摘要

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of midterm early warning and tutoring. A convenience sample of 5518-6118 undergraduate students was recruited from a medical university in southern Taiwan. Measurement instruments included student characteristics, indicators of effectiveness (fail rates, rates of dropping out, and final performance after tutoring), and the Mid-term Early Warning and Tutoring Questionnaire. Study findings showed the following; (1) The fail rates decreased from 21.9-22.1% in 2004/09 and 2006/06 to 18.6-20.35% in 2006/09-2009/06. (2) The fail rates in courses decreased from 4.39-4.41% to 3.75-3.83% for the same two periods, respectively. (3) The fail rates in 1/2 of all courses decreased from 1.81-2.32% to 1.24-1.85%. (4) The rates of dropping out decreased from 12.44-17.42% to 9.19-12.58%. (5) There were significant differences between ”engaged in tutoring or not” and passing final scores (p＜.001). Students who engaged in the tutoring courses had higher percentages of passing grades than those did not (83.8-87.6% vs. 74.0-77.2%). The findings in this study not only have academic information relevant to Taiwan, but also could be used as a reference for improving the implementation of future mid-term early warning and tutoring.
