Objective To evaluate the role that problem based learning (PBL) teaching plays in the education of doctors. Methods A total of 240 7-year students who entered the China Medical University in Shenyang in 2004 were divided into two groups: one group used PBL teaching model while the second group used a traditional teaching model. There were 120 students in each group. At the end of the teaching, a questionnaire on PBL teaching model was distributed to the both groups. We organized and classified answers to the questionnaire and conducted statistical analyses. Results Problem based learning is a model for education in which students dominate the course, question the case, look for evidence, participate in the group discussion and reach resolution. This emphasizes the process of learning and the training of student abilities, instead of the teaching of knowledge only. PBL is more effective at meeting the requirements of the global minimum essential requirements in medical education (GMER). Conclusions PBL teaching plays an important role in the training of doctors
Outcome-based education (OBE) emphasizes student learning outcomes as the core, utilizing a backward design approach to construct the curriculum. In teaching practice based on OBE, teachers need to develop a blueprint in advance that is closely aligned with the content of the teaching, aiming to promote deep learning and ensure that students can fully demonstrate their learning outcomes. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a widely used technology in the field of neuroscience, and the special EEG changes convey a variety of information, which is crucial to the study of diseases. However, due to its specialization and learning difficulty, EEG teaching has been facing many challenges. Under the guidance of OBE concept, traditional knowledge lecture and problem-based learning (PBL) are organically integrated, combined with case analysis and flipped classroom teaching mode, which are applied in EEG teaching practice, in order to obtain more ideal teaching effect.
