Aprendizagem baseada em problema no ensino da medicina veterinária: uma revisão de literatura

Abstract

Workplace demands are constantly evolving; however, the education system often struggles to keep up with this progress. In the professional landscape, there is a growing demand for individuals with problem-solving skills. Thus, there is a need to develop new teaching methodologies that encourage students to be motivated, show interest, and acquire the ability to face challenges. In this context, Problem-Based Learning (PBL) has emerged as an effective methodology to address these issues. Therefore, the aim of this study is to highlight how the implementation of PBL can add value and make a difference in the teaching of various areas of Veterinary Medicine. This review has the guiding question: "How can the use of Problem-Based Learning contribute to Veterinary Medicine education?" The databases used were Science Direct, MEDLINE/PubMed, and SciELO, and article selection was conducted using the Start software. The searches returned a total of 77 articles. The PBL method was recommended by all analyzed studies and proved effective in motivating students, developing various skills, and enabling student autonomy in knowledge construction. However, some limitations related to familiarity with the method were reported, reinforcing the need for exploration and improvement in non-traditional methodologies by education professionals, aiming for a transformation in the educational landscape.
