ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the effects and advantage of PBL teaching method combined with LBL teaching method over LBL teaching method. Methods The interns from Department of Clinical Laboratory were selected as teaching subjects. Fifty interns were assigned randomly into two groups, 25 in PBL+LBL group, 25 in LBL group. After the designed teaching, the exam scores and satisfaction question-naire was evaluated. All the data was analyzed with SPSS 22.0. Counting data was analyzed with Chi-square, Fisher test because of smaller number. Results In the exam test, the scores in PBL+LBL teaching group were significantly higher than that in the LBL group [(84.40±5.14) vs. (78.72±6.51)]. In the questionnaires, the satisfaction rate in the PBL+LBL group was also higher than that in the LBL group. The PBL+LBL teach-ing is helpful for improving the self-learning and collabora-tion ability of the students. Conclusion PLB+LBL teaching method in tumor diagnosis showed improved teaching effects and higher satisfaction rate.
