Abstract

Problem-based learning (PBL) was adopted as an educational approach in the undergraduate medical curriculum of Melaka Manipal Medical College (MMMC), Manipal University, India in the year 2006. Evaluating the effectiveness of a complex educational process like PBL would require prudent techniques that elicit honest and unbiased feedback from leaners. The main objective of this study was to use student debates to gather responses from principal stakeholders that would have ramifications in the future design and implementation of PBL.
