Summary

Problem-based learning (PBL) significantly increased self-directed learning behaviors in pediatric residents during the intervention period. However, these effects were not sustained after the PBL curriculum was withdrawn.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Pediatric Residency Training

Background:

  • Self-directed learning is crucial for lifelong medical competence.
  • Assessing the impact of innovative curricula on resident learning behaviors is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the influence of a problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum on the self-directed learning behaviors of pediatric residents.

Main Methods:

  • A controlled comparison study involved 80 pediatric residents over three phases: pre-exposure (lectures), exposure (PBL vs. lectures), and follow-up (lectures).
  • Self-directed learning behaviors were measured using self-administered questionnaires.

Main Results:

  • The problem-based learning group demonstrated significantly higher engagement in independent study, medical discussions, and literature searches compared to the lecture-based group.

  • Specifically, the PBL group reported more hours of independent study and medical discussions, and conducted more computer literature searches during the intervention.

    • Conclusions:

    • Exposure to a problem-based learning curriculum temporarily enhances self-directed learning behaviors in pediatric residents.
    • The observed increase in self-directed learning was not sustained after the PBL intervention concluded, indicating a need for ongoing strategies to maintain these behaviors.
