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.

Abstract ‘Flipped learning’ has become increasingly popular in medical education as a means of developing independent learning skills in students. The article by Zheng at al. (2020) highlights the potential utility of this approach in disaster triage training. However, the article also highlights to us some concerns regarding how ‘flipped learning’ may favour certain learners over others in the provision of disaster triage education. Specifically, the article demonstrates the necessity for increased pre-classroom preparation when a ‘flipped classroom’ model is employed which inevitably privileges those with a higher ability to engage with self-directed learning. Whilst such a skill is important to develop in medical education, we fear it may lead to polarised student attainment rather than ensuring a maximum number of students achieve the requisite standard required. More research is consequently needed to inform the most efficacious means of facilitating disaster triage training that supports all students sufficiently whilst also helping to nurture their independent learning skills.

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.
