Nagoya University (NU) adopted PBL as a means of enhancing intercultural awareness in globalizing medical education by working with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Faculty of Medicine and Health Science, under the Trondheim NTNU-Nagoya (TroNa) partnership for mobility and internationalization of child and mental health studies. This study aims to assess students’ attitudes towards PBL and to suggest future developments in this form of education by introducing common PBL scenarios experienced at NTNU and NU.Methods: Two 90-minute PBL sessions were conducted at NU. Ten groups of medical students were formed, each consisting of up to 10 students, and students were asked to fill in a questionnaire developed to assess their understanding of, attitudes to and satisfaction with the classes. We investigated three different groups of questions on: NU medical students’ general impressions of PBL; their impressions of PBL in child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP); and their impressions of PBL in specific case scenarios. Correlations between each of the questions from the three groups were evaluated using multivariate analysis.Results: Overall, a majority of the NU medical students were satisfied with PBL, while a small number preferred traditional lecture-style learning (5%). More than half of the students agreed that PBL increased their understanding and interest in CAP (53%), although some male students felt that the amount of time spent was insufficient (20.3%). Correlations were seen for students who thought that PBL enhanced their understanding of and interest in CAP. Regarding case scenarios, most students (82.5%) agreed that PBL helped them to develop clinical problem-solving skills.Conclusion: The study found an overall positive attitude towards PBL, PBL in CAP and the specific PBL case scenario presented.Keywords: problem-based learning, child psychiatry, children and mental health, English medical education, internationalization |
