Application of convergence thinking in Problem-based learning on paramedic education

초록

The purpose of this study is to implement the convergence thinking in problem-based learning (PBL) on paramedic education. PBL scenario course was conducted for 78 students in the third year of emergency medical technology during the first semester of 15 weeks in 2017. After 15 weeks, data of 73 students were analyzed. Among questions about learning interest in PBL, ‘neutral’ was the most frequent response with 38% for “PBL scenario classes were more effective in learning and acquiring knowledge than lecture class”. For “The lessons learned in the class helped to improve the ability to come up with appropriate solutions for problem solving”, 57.5% responded ‘agree’, and for “The lessons learned in the class helped with confidence in the emergency scene”, 50.7% responded ‘agree’. PBL will be an effective and efficient way of teaching as a learning curriculum for understanding the field situation.
