Research and Practice of PBL in Pharmacology Course

Abstract

The PBL (problem based learning) teaching method emphasizes problem-solving as the center, induces students to actively learn, and combines multiple learning paths to analyze and solve problems. Traditional learning methods make students passively accepted and inefficient. In order to improve students' interest and ability in learning and enhance their professional competitiveness, this paper has developed a reform method for problem-based learning. Traditional and PBL methods are applied to two groups of undergraduate students in pharmacy. After a year of practice, traditional method and PBL method have produced different teaching effects for the two groups. The results show that the PBL method is better, and students take the class with questions and show higher enthusiasm. Keywords—PBL; Problem-solving; Pharmacology; Reformation
