Abstract

OBJECTIVES:

The objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of problem-based learning (PBL) versus lecture-based learning (LBL) among nursing students of Public Sector Nursing Colleges.

METHODOLOGY:

A quasi-experimental study was carried out in Public Sector Nursing Colleges. Overall, 69 students of 2nd semester were included in the study. Initially, data were collected using a predesigned questionnaire. Students were randomly divided into two groups; one group were subjected to the Lecture based learning while other group were subjected to Problem based Learning. Learning objective was the same for both groups. The topics was given 5 days before the test to the students.  Test was taken from both the groups. Their scores on each topic was recorded in SPSS 23.0.

RESULTS:               

There was no significant difference among the participants demographic variables. The test results showed students’ performance was high in problem-based learning in comparison to lecture based learning methods (P<0.001).

CONCLUSION:

Students performance in PBL were higher which indicates that PBL is effective as compared to LBL.
