Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centred learning system that involves multidisciplinary fields focused on problem solving. Facilitators of PBL are not necessarily content experts but little is known on how this concept has affected the outcomes of PBL sessions in learning Medical Biochemistry. We aimed to evaluate the impact of having the content expert as a facilitator in conducting PBL.
A total of 150 first and second year medical students from the University Kebangsaan Malaysia were interviewed with a validated set of questions to acquire their views on the roles of facilitators in PBL in learning Medical Biochemistry. Their achievement were evaluated through their essay marks derived from various PBL packages.
All respondents agreed that PBL sessions associated with Medical Biochemistry are best appreciated when conducted by a content-expert facilitator. Their exam marks reflected well on their perception.
PBL sessions related to Medical Biochemistry is best facilitated by Biochemistry lecturers as the content experts.
基于问题的学习(PBL)是以学生为中心的学习系统,涉及专注于解决问题的多学科领域。PBL的促进者不一定是内容专家,但对于这一概念如何影响医学 生物化学学习中PBL课程的结果却知之甚少。我们旨在评估让内容专家作为促进者开展PBL的影响。
对马来西亚国民大学的150名一年级和二年级医学生进行了访谈,使用一套经过验证的问题来了解他们对促进者在医学 生物化学学习的PBL中的作用的看法。通过他们从各种PBL套餐中获得的论文成绩来评估他们的成绩。
所有受访者都认为,由内容专家促进者开展与医学 生物化学相关的PBL课程最受赞赏。他们的考试成绩很好地反映了他们的看法。
与医学 生物化学相关的PBL课程最好由作为内容专家的生物化学讲师来促进。
