STAFF' PERCEPTION OF THE PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING APPROACH

Abstract: PBL has been implemented for more than 15 years in Egypt now, but research about PBL perception in Egypt are still scanty, as PBL approach is still not that common till now. So, this paper gives an insight to our tutor’s perception of hybrid PBL that is used at Mansoura Manchester Medical program and their suggestions to improve the conduction of PBL. Mansoura Manchester program is considered a pioneer to initiate PBL based program in middle east, although that we need to get our tutors regular feedback to learn from our experience and how to improve ourselves. This research was conducted by giving a questionnaire, including closed and open-ended question, to all tutors of semester 4 at academic year 2019-2020. The tutors perceived the PBL approach positively with some concerns about students’ knowledge deficiency in basic science and the need of cases to be updated. Further research should be conducted on different years of the program and using other method rather than questionnaires, moreover, a series of research should be conducted after addressing the points of improvement to assess the success, to follow up and maintain quality of our educational system. Keywords: Mansoura Manchester program, hybrid PBL, perception, self-directed learning, tutors.
