Problem-based learning (PBL) in medical education demonstrated significant knowledge gains and high student satisfaction. A single facilitator effectively managed small groups, supporting PBL

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Curriculum Development
  • Ophthalmology Education

Background:

  • Medical schools are exploring innovative pedagogical approaches like problem-based learning (PBL).
  • Curriculum renewal efforts necessitate evaluating new teaching methodologies for effectiveness.
  • Ophthalmology education requires engaging methods to impart clinical problem-solving skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate problem-based learning (PBL) as a demonstration project within a medical school's curriculum renewal.
  • To determine the efficacy of a single facilitator managing multiple small groups in a PBL setting.

Main Methods:

  • Developed 16 ophthalmic cases for 3-hour small-group sessions in the second-year Introduction to Clinical Medicine course.
  • Utilized a single faculty facilitator for self-divided groups of 4 students across 5 sessions.

  • Administered pre/posttests to assess knowledge gains and satisfaction questionnaires.

    • Main Results:

    • Statistically significant knowledge score gains (mean of 1.7 points) were observed.
    • Student satisfaction was high: 85% felt they learned more than in traditional formats.
    • 93% of students enjoyed the problem-based learning format.

    Conclusions:

    • A single facilitator can successfully manage small groups in a modified problem-based learning (PBL) format.
    • This PBL approach yielded significant knowledge improvements and high student satisfaction.
    • The positive outcomes contributed to the formal adoption of PBL into the medical curriculum.
