The recent review of the Veterinary Science degree program of the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, emphasised studentcentred learning. Towards this end, courses were introduced throughout the program to integrate concurrent disciplinebased material, which were delivered via problem-based learning (PBL) methodology. As PBL was novel to the veterinary education in Sri Lanka, students' perceptions of such learning were evaluated via a questionnaire survey (Likert-scale and open questions) across all four academic-year groups in the program. Most (89.2%, CI: 87.3-91.5) students considered that PBL had been an effective method of learning. Potential to improve critical thinking had the highest score (96.5%, CI: 92.5-98.7). There were significant differences between year groups; which may reflect differences in content or facilitators' experience. Overall, PBL was well-received by students as a learning method per se and as a vehicle for horizontal and vertical integration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
