Abstract

We compared the Problem based learning tool to our proposed Structured Group Discussion. Methodology employed was students were divided into two groups equally. 50 each students were chosen for the study for each group. The Pretest was carried out first on previous day. Then for structured group discussion structured objectives along with the related problem were supplied to students a day before the discussion. And for Problem based learner group a related problem on the topic of discussion was supplied before a day of discussion. Then the sessions of discussion were carried out next day. And then a post test was carried. And data was generated on the scores obtained by each group of students. Data for the pre test scenario was non significant for our groups Group A the Structured group discussion Group and Group B the Problem Based Learner Group (P>0.05). Post test scenario was very effective (P 0.001) for the Group A versus Group B. Mean SD values for Group A- 10.2 3.19 and for Group B (6.922.75). This study has shown high significance over a one of the learning tool the PBL i.e. Problem Based Learning.
