Objective To explore the effectiveness of problem-based learning (PBL) during the internship process for undergraduates in general medical colleges and universities.
Methods From September 2011 to September 2012, PBL mode teaching was carried for the five-year undergraduates, in which students were encouraged to explore, innovate, and put forward questions by themselves, and teachers were responsible for guiding. Based on entrance theoretical examination results and the comprehensive evaluation results, the grade 2008 undergraduate interns who received "3+2" two-phase teaching were divided into experimental group and control group with 50 students in each. Students in the experimental group were given the PBL teaching method, while the control group continued to receive traditional teaching mode. Finally, we adopted questionnaire survey, theory exam, and skill evaluation to compare the two groups of students.
Results For the questionnaire survey, students in the experimental group got significantly higher marks in such items as "mutual assessment between teachers and students" and "skill operation knowledge mastery" than the control group (P<0.05), but in items like "medical ethics" and "social cultivation", the differences were not significant (P>0.05). For the theory exam results, the average score for students in the experimental group (84.98±9.78) was not significantly different from that in the control group (81.86±10.04) (P>0.05). For the skill operation, the average score for the experimental group was 8.87±0.89, which was significantly higher than that for the control group (6.80±1.46) (P<0.05).
Conclusion PBL mode is worth popularizing for its function of improving students' practical operation ability and thinking ability. However, the improvement of theoretical knowledge learning needs to be further solved.
