Proses pembelajaran sedapat mungkin melibatkan para siswa dalam memecahkan permasalahan, mengijinkan para siswa untuk aktif membangun dan mengatur pembelajarannya, dan dapat menjadikan siswa yang berpikir realistis. Untuk mengakomodasi siswa dalam memecahkan masalah dan diskusi menjadi lebih interaktif, juga bisa menjadi salah satu alternatif umpan balik antar siswa dan guru dengan model pembelajaran Problem Based Learning (PBL) dengan metode diskusi kelas berupa Galery Walk (GW). Konsep ini menjelaskan bahwa belajar terjadi aksi siswa, pendidik hanya berperan dalam memfasilitasi terjadinya aktivitas kontruksi pengetahuan oleh pebelajar. Pendidik harus memusatkan perhatiannya untuk membantu siswa dalam mencapai keterampilan (self directed learning). Tujuan dalam penelitian ini untuk mendeskripsikan keterlaksanaan pembelajaran, mengukur keterampilan menyusun peta pikiran, dan hasil belajar kognitif IPA siswa. Data hasil keterlaksanaan pembelajaran dengan menerapkan model pembelajaran PBL dengan strategi diskusi kelas GW mengalami peningkatan pada siklus I mencapai 92% dan siklus II mencapai 98%, sehingga meningkat sebesar 6%. Keterampilan menyusun peta pikiran pada siklus I dengan rata-rata mencapai level cukup baik meningkat dengan level baik pada siklus II. Sedangkan rata-rata hasil belajar kognitif IPA pada siklus I sebesar 76 dan menjadi 79 pada siklus II.

BACKGROUND The motivation to learn begins with a problem. The ideology of problem-based learning (PBL) is to encourage the students to think beyond the books and apply the basic knowledge to various clinical scenarios. Problem based learning has been a concept in existence for decades, yet its implementation in medical education is limited. So the study on PBL was taken up to know analytical skills, comprehensive understanding of disease process and inculcate the practice of self-directed learning in physiology. METHODS This was an educational interventional study carried out on 60 first MBBS students chosen by simple random sampling. Students were further randomly divided into two groups containing 30 students in the control group and 30 students in the study group. Control group was taught by didactic lectures. 10 clinical scenarios were given to study group and discussions were conducted under the moderation of faculties. Objective evaluation was performed using pre-test and post-test examination for both groups. Subjective evaluation of attitude in study group towards PBL was recorded using self-developed questionnaire using Likert’s scale. Data was analysed by using paired students t test. RESULTS The mean pre-PBL (9.83±4.88) and post-PBL scores (15.61 ± 2.99) in study group were significant (p < 0.00001). The comparison of mean scores of postdidactic lectures (12.88 ± 3.13) in control group and post-PBL (15.61 ± 2.99) in study group were significant (p < 0.001). Subjective evaluation using Likert’s scale revealed increased interest in active learning, better confidence, communication, comprehension, and motivation amongst the PBL group. CONCLUSIONS From the results of this study, it can be concluded that problem-based learning is a good supplementary tool in teaching physiology, and it can be included in the regular medical teaching programmes so that the students have a better understanding of the various challenges in the field of medical education and research so that newer strategies for better health care provision can be planned.

Background: Fostering meaningful and self-directed learning among medical graduates is essential to mold them into competent physicians. Concept mapping is one such educational tool facilitating meaningful learning by organizing and integrating information. In our study it was used as a learning tool for problem analysis in Physiology. Material and Methods: Students of the first MBBS Professional year were divided into groups of fifteen; a group facilitator was allotted to each group. After initial practice, students constructed concept maps in Problem based learning (PBL) sessions on case based scenarios; each group finalized a map and then designed charts based on these maps. Student’s analytical ability was determined through differences in score between MCQ based pretest and post test. Charts were evaluated and perception of students regarding effectiveness of concept maps designing was taken. Results:  One hundred and thirty two students completed the study. There was a   statistically significant difference in the pre and post test scores. The items in the Concept maps charts evaluation sheet were ranked as good or excellent in 75% of Charts except the item on horizontal interlinking and cross linking hierarchy which was ranked as satisfactory in 63% of Charts.  Students considered activity of collection of information, discussions, designing, active involvement and teamwork as useful. Conclusions: Self designed Concept maps can be a novel   approach for problem analysis in Physiology. Summary:  Concept maps are useful for summarizing information; integrating mapping in PBL can improve critical thinking ability of students and renew interest in a basic science subject like Physiology. Keywords: Concept map, Problem based learning, Meaningful learning, Analysis.
