Problem-based learning and case-based learning in dental education.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Numerous novel teaching methods have been developed in recent times for use in medical education. Of these methods, problem-based learning (PBL) and case-based learning (CBL) have attracted the most attention. We evaluated and compared the efficiency of these two teaching methods in dental education and discussed the importance of teachers to these courses. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of PBL and CBL in dental education, and discuss the importance of teachers to the courses.

Methods

In this study, 28 students enrolled in a seven-year program at the College of Stomatology at Shanghai Jiao Tong University were chosen as participants. In the fourth year, PBL combined with independent learning was used to teach students the theory of oral mucosal disease
