Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the student satisfaction of problem-based learning(PBL) in Korean medical curriculum. A questionnaire was given to clinical clerkship students of Pusan National University School of Korean medicine. These items covered overall evaluation of module & learning environment, tutoring, individual learning, group learning and effectiveness for clinical clerkship in PBL. By most of all respondents, PBL was recognized as a more effective learning method. Most respondents were satisfied with the group learning, individual learning and effectiveness for clinical clerkship. However, satisfaction was lower for tutors and module. The results of this study demonstrated that the students had a high level of satisfaction in PBL. It might be concluded that PBL was successfully implemented into the Korean medical curriculum.
