Problem-based learning (PBL) enhances nursing students' critical thinking and autonomous learning through real-world problem-solving. Facilitators found PBL a liberating teaching method, though group size and preparation impacted their role.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Medical Pedagogy

Background:

  • Problem-based learning (PBL) is an instructional strategy utilizing real-world scenarios to foster knowledge acquisition and problem-solving skills.
  • Implementing PBL in nursing education requires careful design and facilitator training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document the design and implementation of PBL in a second-year nursing course.
  • To describe student and facilitator learning and teaching experiences within a PBL framework.
  • To evaluate student perceptions of learning outcomes and influencing factors in PBL.

Main Methods:

  • A qualitative approach was used, gathering student perceptions through four open-ended questions.
  • Facilitator experiences and challenges were also documented.
  • Analysis focused on identified thinking processes, learning derived from PBL, and factors influencing performance.

Main Results:

  • Students most frequently cited problem-solving, the nursing process, and group process as key thinking skills developed.
  • Group process and problem-solving were identified as unique learning outcomes of PBL compared to other methods.
  • Positive attitude and group effort were crucial for student performance, while large group size and insufficient preparation affected facilitators.

Conclusions:

  • PBL offers significant benefits for nursing students, including enhanced autonomous learning, critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Facilitators experienced a shift from traditional roles, with PBL offering a more liberating teaching dynamic.
  • Addressing challenges like group size and facilitator preparation is key to optimizing PBL implementation.
