Background: Problem-based learning focuses on self-directed learning through problem-based approaches. This study was conducted to know the perspectives of medical students towards problem-based learning, along with its advantages and disadvantages, the role of facilitators and participants, and the scenario of problem-based learning in Tribhuvan University (TU) based medical colleges. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among the first to third-year medical students at Nepalese Army Institute of Health Sciences, Kathmandu via a self-administered questionnaire. Convenience sampling method was used. The collected data was extracted to Microsoft Excel-13 and analyzed with a statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version-22.Results: Out of 234 study participants, the majority found problem-based learning course interesting and informative (97.5%). More than three-fourths of respondents study more regularly in problem-based learning than lectures (82.5%) and understood applied aspects of course better than that taught via lectures because of problem-based learning (80.8%). Conclusions: The majority of the study participants have found problem-based learning fruitful than traditional lecture learning. Since problem-based learning integrates the basic and clinical knowledge and enhances collaborative learning skills, we strongly recommend frequent problem-based learning sessions in the medical schools of Nepal. |
