Short Description

This study investigates students’ experience with using Standard Patients (SP) as a problem representation method compared to using video cases in Problem-Based Learning. Ninety-nine second-year medical students who had experienced both video problems and SP problems responded to a Liker-scale questionnaire on their learning experiences. The results revealed that SPs led significantly positive experiences in motivation, reflection, authenticity, patient-doctor communication, and attitude toward patients when compared to video cases; and SPs offered more challenges than video cases in problem identification.
