PENDEKATAN PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING DALAM PEMBELAJARAN PRAKTIK KERJA LAPANGAN TERAPI FISIK
Abstract: The Problem-Based
Learning Approach in Physical Therapy Field Works. The objectives of the study
are to identify strategic application of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in
physical therapy field works and to improve students’ mastery in physical
therapy in terms of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. This action
research study consisted of three cycles, each of which included four stages,
namely planning, implementing the plan, monitoring activities and progress, and
reflection. The participants were 23 seventh semester students taking physical
therapy field works in 2007. In the first cycle, students’ theoretical mastery
was inadequate. In the second cycle they did more extensive literature search
to expand theories. In the third cycle they learned more about empirical cases,
not just theories, so that they better skills in implementing the whole PBL
activities and managed to attain the course objectives. PBL is therefore suitable
for advanced students prior to their professional development.
