Perception on problem based learning sessions amongst first year medical graduates of central India
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Now trends in medical education have shifted from didactic teaching to problem based learning (PBL), for enhancing learning process & increasing professional competence. But still in Asian county like ours PBL is not materialized in medical curriculum. We formulated this questioner based survey to study the perception on PBL sessions amongst first year medical students.100 students participated in PBL sessions carried out at physiology & anatomy department of two different medical colleges of central India. Post PBL session students were asked to respond to 20 item questionnaire covering six different PBL domains. Likert scale was used for evaluation. In general student’s response towards PBL was favorable. Most students agreed to course content, orientation, delivery of sessions, motivation, acquisition of learning skills & basic principles. More than half of the students felt that time given for PBL, knowledge of uncommon topics & facilities available were not sufficient. We conclude that student’s perception towards PBL was favorable and they are ready to adapt this method of learning but improvement of resources is needed.
