In this study, I propose and practice the PBL (Problem Based Learning) contents to learn the difficulty of supporting disaster relief efforts, the importance of communication, and human networks. I conducted a PBL practice with Twitter for premedical students in the seminar. In this practice, I took the damage situation of the East Japan great earthquake and tsunami disaster into account and prepared for the scenario. Participant students played roles as individual doctors. The results of the practice were that it was not completed well. Some patients are not helped due to miscommunication. However, students are considered to learn much from this practice. By the questionnaire and the report, they express that they found it difficult to help at the disaster; they found it important to communicate. They also learned of the importance of human networks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
