Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: We developed PBL packages for oral health education and explored the course’s meaning of the packages for applying PBL to dental hygiene education.
Methods: After PBL packages were developed and used, the components of the packages were compared to those of expository and practice centered instruction. Those are subject, main concept, an issue situation, degree of difficulty, achievement evaluation etc.
Results: The PBL packages developed in this study provide problem situations that students might face in the clinic after graduation, and the packages stimulate independent problem-solving instead of relying on existing expository and practice-centered teaching practices that merely convey content. We assessed the application of problem-based learning, the preparation of educational plans, small grouping, tutor posting, and a variety of learning methods, and selected learners were interviewed to describe their PBL experiences. The significance of applying problem-based learning was also analyzed. The learners initially had difficulties with the PBL process, but became accustomed to it with experience, and this process learning did not disrupt the educational value.
Conclusions: This study suggests ways to implement PBL in dental hygiene education.
