Problem-based learning in reproductive physiology

Abstract

One of the most misunderstood concepts in progressive educational curricula is that of problem-based learning (PBL). Often confused with problem solving, the two are quite different. Courses conducted in a PBL format use problems as a launch pad for resulting study. This article reviews a course designed to enable students to learn and understand the principles of human reproductive physiology using PBL. The learning process is situation based, student directed, and takes place in small groups. The rationale for some of these innovations is discussed and the way in which they were implemented is described.

“…In addition, learning that uses multimedia-based learning media can improve learning effectiveness, this is because with the use of technology, especially interactive learning media, teachers can optimize learning because it reduces or shortens the delivery time of materials, improves students' ability to solve problems, and improves performance of students (Anderson & Davidson, 2019;Dring, 2019). In addition, to improve the ability of students, the use of interactive audio-based learning media can also improve teacher teaching competencies (Astra et al, 2015;Lobb, Inman, & Butler, 2004;Williams, 2004). Other research states that the use of technology-based learning media can also improve teaching and learning processes and develop active and creative learning (Rowan, McCourt, & Beake, 2008).…”
