Intergrating Problem-Based Learning and Team-Based Learning (PITBL) in Nursing Students: A Pilot study
Abstract: Change seems to be a
constant in education. The shifting paradigm from teacher-centered to
student-centered impact on demands of medical and health professions education
institution to undertake curricullum reform. The development of PBL requires
the provision of resources needed for its implementation. The emergence of
newly developed method, TBL, garnered interest because of its potential to
promote active learning without requiring large numbers of resources. The
integration of these two methods can complement each deficiencies with their
advantages, so it can optimize student learning. This study is aimed to
determine the impact of the integration of PBL and TBL (PiTBL) on student
engagement and to evaluate the perceptions of students in terms of
accountability, preferences and their satisfaction with this method.
Method: This study was a pre-experimental with one group pre and post
test design. Subjects consisted of 103 nursing students who enrolled Fluid,
Electrolyte an Elimination course. The collection of data before and after the
intervention were held to determine the difference in student engagement, using
“Classroom Engagement Survey” instrument from Baylor University. Students
perceptions in terms of accountability, preference and satisfaction were
measured with PiTBL-Student Assessment Instrument (PiTBL-SAI).
Results: PiTBL had a positive impact on student engagement, but its
results were lower then PBL. The difference was not significant for
participation sub-scale, and significant in several weeks of course for
enjoyment sub-scale and total value of student engagement. Students perceptions
in terms of accountability, preference and their satisfaction with PiTBL all
showed positive results.
Conclusions: PiTBL had a positive impact on student engagement, although
lower than PBL. Students perceptions in terms of their accountability,
preference and satisfatction with this method is also positive. We concluded
that this method can be used as an alternative in implementing an effective and
eficient active learning method.
