Problem based learning (PBL) is perhaps the most innovative instructional method implemented in medical education after its introduction. The objective of the study was to evaluate faculty and students' perception about problem based learning and its implementation.
The Mixed method sequential design was used to conduct this cross sectional study at Lahore Medical and Dental College (LMDC) from April to June 2012. In the first phase a survey was conducted on 25 faculty members and 235 students on the basis of non-probability convenience sampling and then 3 teachers and 5 students were interviewed in depth. The analyses of qualitative and quantitative data were integrated in the final interpretation phase to draw a conclusion.
Faculty (96%) and students (73.2%) consider PBL more interesting as compared to conventional teaching. Faculty (56%) and students (43.8%) thinks PBL time-consuming as compared to conventional method. 80 % faculty and 73.2% students support introducing PBL at LMDC but 88% faculty and 72% student thought that faculty training is required for its implementation. 56% Faculty were of the view that workload cannot be managed by present faculty but 51.9% student did not agree with the faculty. Almost 50% of participants thought that clinical faculty is sufficiently available for preparing clinical scenario. Both faculty (76%) and students (71.9%) agreed that PBL help in producing better result in examination. Annual intake of student at LMDC is considered adequate by 48% faculty and 41.9% students.
PBL is popular among students and faculty of medical college. They feel it a better system and can be implemented after proper planning.
基于问题的学习（PBL）自引入医学教育以来，可能是实施的最具创新性的教学方法。本研究的目的是评估教师和学生对基于问题的学习及其实施的看法。
采用混合方法序列设计，于2012年4月至6月在拉合尔医学与牙科学院（LMDC）进行了这项横断面研究。第一阶段，基于非概率便利抽样对25名教师和235名学生进行了调查，然后对3名教师和5名学生进行了深入访谈。在最终解释阶段整合定性和定量数据的分析以得出结论。
与传统教学相比，教师（96%）和学生（73.2%）认为PBL更有趣。与传统方法相比，教师（56%）和学生（43.8%）认为PBL耗时。80%的教师和73.2%的学生支持在LMDC引入PBL，但88%的教师和72%的学生认为实施PBL需要教师培训。56%的教师认为目前的教师无法管理工作量，但51.9%的学生不同意教师的观点。近50%的参与者认为临床教师足以准备临床案例。教师（76%）和学生（71.9%）都同意PBL有助于在考试中取得更好的成绩。48%的教师和41.9%的学生认为LMDC的学生年入学人数足够。
PBL在医学院的学生和教师中很受欢迎。他们认为这是一个更好的系统，经过适当规划后可以实施。
