          Abstract

          Problem based learning (PBL) made a great impact on the methodology of teaching. The major advantage of PBL method of teaching is integration of basic and clinical sciences in an integrated curriculum. This is achieved by presenting clinical problems to students which contain learning objectives from subjects related to the given clinical problems. In recent reports deficiencies have been reported regarding quantity of anatomy content of the clinical problems which has resulted in difficulty in understanding of theanatomy. We have made an attempt to quantify the content of anatomy and its sub-disciplines in PBL curriculum by a case study method using 'documentary analysis' at School of Medicine and Health Sciences, UCSI University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. From the results of our study it is apparent that learning objectives for anatomy is not sufficiently spread across all the clinical problems and there is very less coverage of the sub-disciplines of anatomy particularly osteology and embryology. The benefits of PBL method of teaching is definitely more than that of traditional method, the uneven distribution of anatomy and its sub-disciplines had a major impact on the students during their clinical years.

          El aprendizaje basado en problemas (ABP) generó un gran impacto en la metodología de la enseñanza. La principal ventaja del método ABP es la integración de las ciencias básicas y clínicas en un curriculum integrado. Esto se consigue mediante la presentación de los problemas clínicos a los estudiantes, que contienen objetivos de aprendizaje de temas relacionados con los problemas propuestos. En informes recientes se han reportado deficiencias en cuanto a la cantidad de contenido de la anatomía en los problemas clínicos, lo que se ha traducido en dificultades en la comprensión de la anatomía. Hemos hecho un esfuerzo para cuantificar el contenido de la anatomía y sus sub-disciplinas en el curriculum de ABP mediante el método de estudio de caso con "análisis documental" en la Facultad de Medicina y Ciencias de la Salud, UCSI University, Kuala Lumpur, Malasia. A partir de los resultados de nuestro estudio es evidente que los objetivos de aprendizaje para la anatomía no se extienden suficientemente a través de todos los problemas clínicos, y hay poca cobertura de la anatomía en las sub-disciplinas, en particular osteología y embriología. Los beneficios del método de ABP en la enseñanza es, sin duda, mayor que la de los métodos tradicionales, además la distribución desigual de la anatomía y sus sub-disciplinas, tuvieron un gran impacto en los estudiantes durante sus años clínicos.

          Problem-based learning: a review of the educational and psychological theory.

          Problem-based learning (PBL) is a teaching method where the use of clinical problems is the starting point for learning, and it is through the process of working through these problems that students acquire the knowledge and skills required to be a doctor. Many advantages of PBL over traditional curricula have been proposed. On reviewing the evidence on the results of PBL curricula for producing better doctors, students tend to perform either a little better or a little worse in examinations. In this article the educational and psychological theories supporting PBL are described. There is a wealth of theory underpinning the use of PBL to teach clinical medicine, despite disappointing results. Future research should concentrate on the reasons behind this uncoupling of theory and outcomes. © Blackwell Publishing Ltd 2012.

            The changing face of dental education: the impact of PBL.

            The past decade has seen increasing demands for reform of dental education that would produce a graduate better equipped to work in the rapidly changing world of the twenty-first century. Among the most notable curriculum changes implemented in dental schools is a move toward Problem-Based Learning (PBL). PBL, in some form, has been a feature of medical education for several decades, but has only recently been introduced into dental schools. This paper discusses the rationale for the introduction of a PBL pedagogy into dental education, the modalities of PBL being introduced, and the implications of the introduction of PBL into dental schools. Matters related to implementation, faculty development, admissions, and assessment are addressed. Observations derived from a parallel-track dental PBL curriculum at the University of Southern California (USC) are presented and discussed. This program conforms to the Barrows (1998) concept of "authentic PBL" in that the program has no scheduled lectures and maintains a PBL pedagogy for all four years of the curriculum. The USC dental students working in the PBL curriculum have attained a high level of achievement on U.S. National Dental Boards (Part I) examinations, significantly superior to their peers working in a traditional lecture-based curriculum.
