ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe and analyze the application effect and value of problem based learning (PBL) combined with team-based learning(TBL) in the teaching of New Drug Clinical Research. Methods:Postgraduate students were randomly divided in-to two groups(n=20):"PBL+ TBL" group and lecture based learning(LBL) group. After the end of the teaching,the teaching ef-fectiveness survey and theory test of the groups were performed,and the results were compared. Results:The combined teaching meth-od (PBL+TBL) could stimulate learning enthusiasm, improve learning efficiency, and enhance the abilities of self-study, literature retrieval and analyzing and solving problems. Totally 90% of students thought the new teaching method had good application value in clinical teaching. Furthermore,the excellent rate of the theory test scores in the combined teaching group was better than that in the traditional teaching group (P<0.05). Conclusion: PBL combined with TBL can overcome the disadvantages of traditional teaching method,which provides higher interest,improved ability of self-study as well as higher teaching quality of medical students. The meth-od is worthy of promotion in postgraduate teaching.
