To compare the learning effect of problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum using mannequin scenario with that of traditional paper case, we set up an Mannequin Scenario-based PBL Camp (MSPC) in the last week before the beginning of the semester of the third grade. Through five consecutive half-day sessions, students run the PBL program using the traditional paper case twice followed by the second PBL practice using mannequin scenario twice. A total of 40 students have participated this camp since 2010. In general, the overall satisfaction scores were as high as 4.5 points based on the post-camp 5-point Likert scale questionnaire. They felt the PBL program using mannequin scenario is superior to paper case counterpart in terms of the increase of learning impact, the enhancement of learning interest, the opportunity for active learning and the promotion of critical thinking. The biggest challenge for this MSPC seems to be the build-up of self-confidence for most students. Most students recommended this "MSPC module" into the formal curriculum of "clinical skills" or "PBL" and hesitated to implement this module into "clinical skills test", which might be related to lack of confidence for normal performance under pressured testing environment. Faculty recruitment and hardware investment is the key to the implementation of this pilot camp to become a formal curriculum in the future. |
