Introducing technology-enabled problem-based learning (PBL) in health informatics enhanced satisfaction with online tools but students preferred traditional lectures due to uncertainty and anxiety with PBL.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics Education
  • Educational Technology
  • Pedagogy

Background:

  • Health informatics curricula require redesign to prepare students for evolving professional environments.
  • Technology integration is crucial for modernizing health informatics education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate learner satisfaction with a technology-enabled problem-based learning (PBL) approach in a health informatics course.
  • To assess the impact of course redesign on student preparedness for professional practice.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was administered to 26 undergraduate students in a redesigned biomedical fundamentals course.
  • A focus group was conducted with 8 participating students to gather qualitative feedback.

Main Results:

  • Students found web-based tools like private email, calendaring, and online grades highly beneficial for learning.
  • While PBL activities improved presentation and information identification skills, most students (69.2%) preferred traditional lectures.
  • Student anxiety and uncertainty regarding PBL requirements were primary drivers of negative feedback.

Conclusions:

  • The study highlights the need for a structured and guided introduction to PBL processes to mitigate student anxiety.
  • Web-enabled courseware shows promise, and further development of PBL is encouraged.
  • Curriculum redesign should balance innovative approaches with student support to enhance satisfaction and learning outcomes.
