Problem-based learning (PBL) tutorials enhanced medical education for second-year students. Students reported high interest and familiarity with scenarios, indicating PBL

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Pedagogy

Background:

  • Implemented a problem-based learning (PBL) tutorial in an advanced program for second-year medical students.
  • Program conducted during summer vacation, with voluntary student participation in small, randomly assigned groups.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the implementation and student reception of a novel PBL tutorial within an existing medical curriculum.
  • To assess the impact of PBL scenarios, tutor interaction, and learning environment on student engagement and outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Students engaged in self-learning over 5 days, focusing on medical problem scenarios and information technology (IT) presentations.
  • Tutoring involved a 1.5-hour group session, with assessment via attendance and portfolio analysis.
  • Student learning issues, interest, familiarity, and satisfaction were evaluated through portfolio analysis and questionnaires.

Main Results:

  • Students identified an average of 20-26 learning issues per group.
  • High student interest (84%) and familiarity (95%) with the medical scenarios were reported.
  • Students expressed comfort with the discussion rooms and IT center, though tutor satisfaction varied.

Conclusions:

  • PBL tutorials are positively influenced by well-designed scenarios, effective tutors, and conducive learning environments.
  • Student readiness for free discussion and sufficient time for self-learning are crucial for successful PBL implementation.
  • The study suggests PBL is a valuable pedagogical approach for advanced medical students, fostering self-directed learning and engagement.
