Objective To investigate effects of problem-based learning (PBL) and traditional learning (TL) on students' long-term memory and clinical practice ability. Methods Totally 79 5-year-program undergraduates of 2006
2007
2008 grade in school of clinical medicine of our hospital were randomly divided into PBL group (n=38) and TL group (n=41). The teaching effects were evaluated by two exams as well as teachers' subjective impression. SPSS 17.0 statistical analysis software was used; exam results were expressed as x±s; t test and rank sum test were used to analyze the exam results and subjective impression. α=0.05 was set as inspection level. Results In the second exam after 6 months
the mean exam scores were (76.66±5.94) and (73.59±5.74) in PBL group and TL group
without significant differences between the two groups (t=1.85
P=0.068). However
at clinical intern-ship stage
PBL group outperformed TL group based on the subjective evaluation (P=0.065
0.277). Conclusion PBL can culture students' ability of problem-solving
but it is limited in culturing long-term memory.
