The aim of this research was to determine the satisfaction of medical students with problem-based learning (PBL) and their approaches to learning to investigate the effect of learning approaches on their levels of satisfaction. The study group was composed of medical students from three different universities, which apply PBL at different levels in their curricula. The revised two-factor study process survey was applied to the study group to determine their approaches to learning as "deep" or…

The Undergraduate Medical Students＇ Approach to Learning in University of Latvia
TLDR
Findings show that learning approach has trend towards surface approach of learning in six groups studied in the University of Latvia in year 2009/2010, and might suggest that modernisation of undergraduate curriculum including assessment with target to improve the way how medical students learn could be topic of discussion in senior management of University of Latvian.

TLDR
It is concluded that PBL does seem to enhance deep learning and has little effect on surface learning, although more longitudinal research using high quality measurement instruments is needed to support this conclusion with stronger evidence.

TLDR
A number of studies will be reviewed that provide empirical evidence that problem-based curricula provide a learning environment in which competence is fostered not primarily by teaching to impart knowledge, but through encouraging an inquisitive style of learning.
