Developing effective medical school curriculum databases is difficult, especially for problem-based learning (PBL). This study presents a Java-based concept map interface for improved access to PBL curriculum databases.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Computer Science
  • Information Science

Background:

  • Developing medical school curriculum databases presents significant challenges, particularly for problem-based learning (PBL) curricula.
  • Existing curriculum databases struggle to represent instructional units effectively within PBL frameworks.
  • Improved access methods are needed to leverage curriculum databases as effective tools for students, faculty, and administrators in PBL environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the challenges in representing and accessing medical school curriculum databases for problem-based learning.
  • To develop a user-friendly interface for accessing curriculum database content tailored to the needs of various stakeholders.
  • To explore the utility of concept maps as a method for representing and navigating curriculum database information.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a Web application integrating a curriculum database with a novel user interface.
  • Utilized Java-based concept maps as the primary interface for user interaction with the curriculum database.
  • Focused on representing conceptual relationships within the curriculum to enhance information retrieval.

Main Results:

  • Successfully created a Web application that employs Java-based concept maps for curriculum database interaction.
  • Demonstrated the potential of concept maps to represent complex conceptual relationships within educational curricula.
  • The developed interface offers a more intuitive and effective way to access PBL curriculum materials.

Conclusions:

  • Concept maps provide a viable and effective method for representing and accessing information within medical school curriculum databases.
  • The developed Java-based concept map interface enhances usability for students, faculty, and administrators in PBL settings.
  • This approach offers a promising solution for improving the management and delivery of PBL curriculum content.
