Problem-based learning (PBL) can enhance postgraduate learning, making subjects more interesting and improving knowledge retention compared to traditional lectures. Facilitators play a key role in PBL

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Pedagogy
  • Health Professions Education

Background:

  • Problem-based learning (PBL) is widely used in healthcare curricula, despite limited evidence of its effectiveness.
  • PBL is thought to foster transferable skills like problem-solving and teamwork.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of PBL in a postgraduate research methods module.
  • To explore student and facilitator perceptions of PBL's impact on learning and skill development.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods evaluation involving questionnaires for students (n=51) and facilitators (n=6).
  • A group discussion with student representatives and facilitators four weeks post-module.
  • Quantitative analysis of questionnaire data (SPSS) and qualitative content analysis of interview transcripts.

Main Results:

  • Students found PBL more engaging and believed it enhanced long-term knowledge retention over lectures.
  • Participants perceived PBL as effective in improving understanding of group dynamics.
  • The crucial role of the facilitator in the PBL process was consistently highlighted.

Conclusions:

  • PBL demonstrates potential for use beyond clinical healthcare education, such as in developing research capabilities.
  • Further research into PBL's application in diverse educational contexts is warranted.
  • PBL may offer a valuable alternative to traditional teaching methods in postgraduate education.
