[An experiment in a new method of nursing education--the problem-based learning for prenatal nursing].
At the opening of lectures in 1995 on the Science of maternity Nursing in the Special Subjects of Nursing, a problem-based learning was tried as a new educating method in the unit of "Prenatal Nursing." In the present paper, reviewing the introduction/implementation of the method, subjects in the future are described. This process contained two major flows, one was the training of tutors in problem-based learning, including participating the workshop held at McMaster University, and the other was the preparation for the class at the introduction of the new educational method, such as the overall subject composition and the development of teaching materials of prenatal nursing and resources, etc. according to the procedures of the problem-based learning. As the results of the actual implementation, various different reactions in comparison with the lecture method were observed both in tutors and students. As the subjects hereafter, the following three points have been clearly elucidated, that is, in order to proceed the problem-based learning under the present condition that it is not in the comprehensive curriculum, to prevent the overload and conflict in the student learning, considering and adjusting the relationship with contents and methods of concurrent subjects and units, to establish the system for tutorial assessment and evaluation, and to insure tutors and fulfill their training system.
