Abstract:
Assessment or evaluation of student performance in a problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum is difficult to plan or implement.Many medical schools which have switched to a PBL learning format usually use traditional evaluation methods based on factual recalls, which usually has a negative influence on the learning style of the students, thereby reducing the impact of PBL. The purpose of this review is to discuss the various evaluation methods with a particular focus on methods applicable to PBL, so that we can make intelligent use of these methods in our PBL curriculum. In combination with evaluation methods adopted at McMaster University, the article makes an elaboration about them.
