Abstract

This quasi-experimental research in Family and Community Nursing II course aimed to study the effects of problem-based learning (PBL) pedagogy on learning achievement, problem solving skills, teamwork, and satisfaction of nursing students. Sample was 129 4th-year nursing students in academic year 2017 at Boromarajonani College of Nursing in Surat Thani. The experimental tool was a lesson plan using problem-based learning strategy. Data collection tools included a learning achievement test, a problem-solving skills test, a teamwork assessment, and a satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and paired t-test.

Results showed that learning achievements of nursing students after being taught with   the PBL approach was significantly higher (M=9.35, SD=1.93) than before the experiment (M=16.50, SD=1.25) at the significance level of 0.001. The overall score of problem-solving skills   was at a good level (M=3.33, SD=0.41). Teamwork score was at a very good level (Mean=3.60, SD=0.44). And students’ satisfaction was also very good (M=4.72, SD= 0.58)

Therefore, conclusion is that using the problem-based learning approach in Family and Community Nursing II course can promote effective learning achievement, problem-solving skills,   and teamwork among nursing students.
