ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate whether the effect of PBL is better than LBL when used in a new type of three phases labor trainee teaching. Methods 216 medical students of the five-year and seven-year program who took part in labor trainee in the 2013-2014 school year were chosen and divided into two groupsPBL group and LBL group. Both the two groups' labor trainee were performed as three phases trainee preparation, delivery room trainee, and discussion-class after trainee. Ques-tionnaire investigations were used to evaluate the effect of the delivery room trainee and discussion-class in PBL group and LBL group. A quiz after the third phase was used to examine whether the teaching effect of the two groups is different or not. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 16.0 software. Count data between sample rates were compared by chi square test, mean data between the two groups were compared by t test, the inspection level is α=0.05. Results Both in the delivery room trainee and discussion-class after trainee, questionnaire score in PBL group was significantly higher than that in LBL group (P<0.05). The average of quiz score in PBL group was 25.7±2.1, which was significantly higher than that in LBL group (19.3±3.6) (P<0.05). The excellent rate in PBL group was 82.6%, which was also higher than that in LBL group (P<0.05). Conclusion PBL teaching method elevates learning initiative of medical students and increases the teaching effect, and it can be promoted in labor trainee teaching.
