Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Background-Problem-based learning (PBL) visualizes students to study material by applying processes of reasoning rather than by rote memorization of facts. To this purpose I have evaluated PBL compared to traditional teaching in gross anatomy in first year M.B.B.S by comparing the examination performances and student’s responses to the questionnaires. Methods- A total of 100 first year M.B.B.S students at Telangana area Medical College during the period of October 2009 to October 2010 were trained gross anatomy with conventional teaching for one semester and PBL for the other semester. Assessment scores from together methods and evaluation done by completing the student feedback questionnaires. Results- In the study 23 students were male and 77 were female students respectively. The mean age of the students was 21 years. Descriptive statistics were used to analysis of students’ responses, collected through feedback questionnaire. 92% students strongly agreed PBL is useful method of tool of learning comparatively traditional teaching method, 7.4% disagree with this study and remaining 4% were neutral in their response. Conclusion-The PBL method resulted in improved assessment scores than traditional teaching for the same students and believed that this method augmented their problem solving abilities.
