[Problem-based teaching and learning. An opportunity for medical psychology, psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy?].

All proposals for a reform of the study of medicine recommend problem-based teaching and learning methods. The rapid increase in the number of medical faculties abroad offering experimental courses along these lines is an indicator of their usefulness. The results of empirical research also suggest that departments of medical psychology, psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy should participate more closely in the introduction and exploration of the advantages of this didactic approach.

Problem-Based Learning↗

[Can problem-based learning help medical students to assimilate knowledge? Evaluation of a first semester course in medical psychology].

Before the introduction of problem-based teaching and learning schemas, careful consideration must be given to the system devised for the evaluation of results. In the framework of a problem-based first-semester tutorial in medical psychology, certain interdisciplinary skills of prime importance to a doctor were tested to establish whether they were learnt more effectively by this approach than by traditional training methods. The experimental group was found to rank higher than controls in the following behavioural capacities: precise casework; differentiated approach to further treatment of patients; the ability to form hypotheses and to test them critically.

[Multimedia learning program for medical consultation].

To improve communicative competence during physicians' consultations, we developed a computer-assisted multimedia learning programme. This programme can be used in medical education as well as in continuing education for physicians. Dependent on individual skills and needs, the system, based on hypertext links, can be tailored to expand and improve communicative competence in a series of steps. The programme is based on a manual of medical interviewing and breaking bad news. The user gains information about theory and techniques of verbal intervention. He is trained to be able to reflectively observe and interactively intervene in video-taped and transcribed physician-patient dialogues. In a contrast-typological approach to model learning, in which negative and positive cases can be compared in a problem-based concept, alternative types of interventions can be recognised and evaluated. Finally, the learning goals in verbal intervention techniques should be subject of self-evaluation which can be objectified by further evaluations.
