abstract
Teaching strategies in the field of medical education has undergone tremendous changes in the last few years in order to help increasing the level of student learning. As the traditional problem based learning (PBL) requires intensive resources, there was a need to develop new technology like team based learning (TBL) to boost students desire for active learning. Hence, the present study was developed to compare the efficacy of TBL and PBL among postgraduate nursing students in RAKMHSU. Two similar questionnaire were developed to record Students feedback on TBL and PBL. Overall results of the present study showed that students benefited significantly from PBL sessions when compared to TBL sessions especially regarding learning domain. Students reported that PBL is still their preferred learning method. Proper formulation and integration of both PBL and TBL in the medical education process is needed in order to maximize their mutual benefits.
