To what extent do students generate learning issues that correspond to pre-set faculty objectives?

The aim of this study was to investigate whether the content of the problems in a problem-based learning programme directs the students to the faculty's educational objectives. Sixteen students in two study groups in a three-year programme for training in psychotherapy generated 228 learning issues. The tutors reported the issues and the discussion themes. The learning issues and themes were compared with the faculty objectives. The correspondence between faculty objectives and learning issues/themes was 79% in the study groups, which showed that the problems presented direct the students to the faculty goals. The result also shows that it is important to study not only the learning issues but also what students talk about while preparing the reports in their group.

Students' evolution of a learning method: a comparison between problem-based learning and more traditional methods in a specialist university training programme in psychotherapy.

Two educational groups of psychotherapy students were compared regarding their educational training in a three-year programme. One of these groups attended a traditional psychotherapy programme based on conventional lectures (1993-96), while the other attended a PBL programme (1994-97). In an initial study, the students in both groups answered a questionnaire composed to evaluate relevant sub-areas of the training programme. The traditionally trained group reported a significantly higher level of knowledge than the PBL group. On the other hand, the PBL group reported more positive general opinions of their education than did the traditional group. Based on the initial questionnaire, a follow-up questionnaire was designed to investigate the professional situation and the former students' view of their education two to three years later. Statistically, there were no significant differences between the two groups in their evaluations of the practical use.
