The nursing education system has to aim at producing nurse professionals who are competent in the delivery of PHC to meet the changing needs of the South African society. This therefore, requires that nursing colleges in South Africa adopt curriculum approaches that develop links between theory and clinical practice and consequently prepare students to develop self directed learning skills, self reliance, the ability to utilise different intellectual, interpersonal and practical skills to make decisions and solve problems critically (SANC, 1985). A number of authors (Andrews & Jones, 1996; Creedy & Hand, 1994; Creedy, Horsfall & Hand, 1992; Heliker, 1994) suggested Problem-based learning (PBL) as the most appropriate educational approach which will equip students with the skills necessary to function in a comprehensive and primary focused health delivery system.

Abstract Background Self-directed learning is important in nursing as it is associated with improved clinical and moral competencies in providing quality and cost-effective care among people. However, unethical professional conduct demonstrated by some graduate nurses is linked with the way they are developed in schools alongside the content and pedagogies prescribed in nursing curricula. Pedagogical transformations appear to be inevitable to develop enthusiastic nursing students who can work independently in delivering quality and cost-effective nursing services to people. This study intended to examine the impact of facilitation in a problem-based pedagogy on self-directed learning readiness among undergraduate nursing students in Tanzania. Methods A controlled quasi-experimental design was conducted in Tanzanian higher training institutions from January to April 2019. A 40-item Self-directed learning Readiness scale for nursing education adopted from previous studies measured self-directed learning and the Student A descriptive analysis via a Statistical Package for Social Sciences software program (version 23) was performed to establish nursing students’ socio-demographic characteristics profiles. Independent samples t-test determined mean scores difference of self-directed learning readiness among nursing students between groups while regression analysis was performed to discriminate the effect of an intervention controlled with other co-related factors. Results The post-test results of self-directed learning readiness showed that nursing students scored significantly higher [(M = 33.01 ± 13.17; t (399) = 2.335; 95%CI: 0.486,5.668)] in the intervention group than their counterparts in the control. Findings of SDL readiness subscales were significantly higher among students in the intervention including self-management [(M = 10.11 ± 4.09; t (399) = 1.354; 95%CI: 0.173,4.026)], interest learning [(M = 9.21 ± 2.39; t (399) = 1.189; 95%CI: 0.166,4.323)] and self-control [(M = 13.63 ± 5.05; t (399) = 2.335; 95%CI: 0.486,5.668)]. The probability of nursing students to demonstrate self-directed learning readiness was 1.291 more times higher when exposed to the intervention (AOR = 1.291, p < 0.05, 95%CI: 0.767, 2.173) than in the control. Conclusion Facilitation in a problem-based pedagogy promises to change the spectrum of nursing learning habits potentially to their academic and professional achievements. Nurse tutors need to be empowered with it to prepare nursing students to meet their academic and professional potentials.

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.
