Journal Title: Advance Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Discoveries - Year 2018, Vol 27, Issue 27
Abstract
Objective: To communicate the personal experience between teaching and learning in medical schools in traditional setup and problem based (PBL) setup. Methodology: It is a short communication based on personal experiences of two writers that narrates the basic difference between methodology of studies in medical schools in traditional setup and Problem based (PBL) setup. Bothe writers were trained in a traditional medical school, where they started medical education with two years of ‘pre-clinical’ training, followed by the ‘clinical’ training, of approximately three years, during which they worked in hospital wards under the supervision of consultants to get hand on training in medical and surgical procedures. At the end of five years of medical education, they cleared the final examination with high marks. The grades evaluated the memory, but what they learnt was never assessed.click here In comparison, the system of PBL was observed by writers which they realized is more suitable and useful as far as learning is concerned. Results: It was experience by the writers that PBL is a student’s based learning process where students are given medical scenarios to resolve and learn from. For learning they depend on self-directed learning and group work. Conclusion: PBL is experienced to be an effective system of learning in medical schools that keeps the learning more important than teaching.
