The experiment group participated in a pre-planned three day educational workshop about clinical teaching and evaluation.Two months later, all of the students who were involved in clinical experiences (n=588) were asked to evaluate their clinical teachers using a questionnaire consisting of 21 items about effective clinical teaching behaviors. The mean scores for teaching behaviors were compared by independent t-test using SPSS software. Results: The mean scores of the experiment group were significantly higher than the control group. Furthermore, the experiment group significantly differed from the control group in six educational behaviors including conducting effective clinical conferences, providing positive feedback and reinforcement, encouraging students to think, analyzing and rational criticizing, being flexible, facilitating students’ self-evaluation, and asking stimulating questions.But no significant difference was observed in other 15 educa-tional behaviors.
