Evaluation of acceptance for case based learning in the undergraduate medical curriculum

Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6

Abstract

Case based learning is an interactive, learner-centered and effective approach that motivates students to understand and correlate clinical problems with theoretical knowledge. The present questionnaire survey investigated student perception of case based learning (CBL) in the undergraduate medical curriculum. 235 students were randomly selected and exposed to CBL sessions. Respondents used a structured six-point Likert scale questionnaire (1 = strongly disagree, 6 = strongly agree) on items 1–10 to rate their attitudes anonymously. 97.39% students agreed that CBL facilitated the learning process. Keywords: case based learning, didactic lecture, physiology, biochemistry, medical education.
