Abstract

A key factor in successful application of PBL is creation of good problems. Unfortunately, published collections of problems do not exist for many subjects. Consequently, instructors usually write their own problems and case studies if they want to use problem-based instruction. In this study we proposed principles for creation of PBL problems and presented its example. If effective problems suitable to educational goals are engaged, PBL can be introduced to the first grade medical students who do not have any knowlege about medicine. However, additional factors such as number of faculties and students, budget, availability of learning materials also affect successful implementation of PBL.
