Observation and reflection on problem based teaching in Faculty of Dentistry,the University of Hong Kong

PBL(Problem-Based Learning)是指以问题为核心,经诱导、探索、沟通、整合,使学生获得分析、解决问题所需之综合性知识和技能的教学模式。香港大学牙医学院自1998年开始全面采用PBL教学模式进行牙医本科教学,取得比传统的教学方法更为明显的教学效果。因此,文章以香港大学牙医学院的PBL教学为例,介绍PBL教学的课程设置,教学模式,考核评价方式以及个人的心得体会,以期增强我们对PBL教学模式的认识,为我国医学教育改革和PBL教学提供参考。
