Teaching ways Flashcards
What do you know about PBL and how does it compare to other forms of learning ?
its problem based, you’re given a problem scenario, issue or a question that you are tasked with to resolve
presented with the problem, we determine LOs and decide the knowledge needed to solve that problem and work together to do so, we present our work and the info and competencies are then put together
PBL students retain more info in the long term and this is a researched fact as well as this it allows us to enhance inter professional team interaction and teamwork skills
Advantages and disadvantages of PBL
+
- gives a practical view of medicine
- suit those people who have initiative and more of a will to learn and go out and find info and solve problems by themselves
- small group teaching so it can be more personal
- promotes teamwork and communication
- quality of the learning depends on the quality of the problems or scenarios
- some topics are better taught formally
- your learning experience depends on the people in your group and the work and willingness that they put in

- students dictate their own learning experience
- no real life application for a few years
- patient contact is delayed
- Does not suit people who learn in a less structured manner and like to learn in groups with their peers
- can arguably be boring
advantages and disadvantages of an integrated course
both medical sciences and clinical studies taught together
+
- students learn in context
