Subjective adaptation of the students on seven-year program to the problem-based learning teaching method

Abstract

The PBL teaching method was introduced to the seven-year program students of ChinaMedical University. In order to know the subjective adaptation of the students to the problem-based learning(PBL) teaching method, the questionnaire investigation was made to estimate the subjective adaptation ofthe students to the PBL teaching method. The result showed that the students had good subjective adapta-tion to the PBL teaching method, and the adaptation got better when the accumulation of the teacher' steaching experience became more. But the existence of the bad objective conditions had adverse impacts onit,while improving these conditions could enhance the adaptation of the students to this new teaching meth-od. Key words: Seven-year program medical students; Problem-based learning; Adaptation
