Description
Summary:The ineffectiveness of the existing training model in Indonesia, especially for remote area health center managers, needs to develop a Problem Based Learning model that is appropriate to the problems in the area. The methodological approach taken in this study is a quasi-experimental, pre-posttest control design. The study subjects consisted of 26 Public Health Centre heads from remote areas in South Sulawesi Province. The data collection instrument used was pre-posttest with Alpha Cronbach reliability coefficient of 0.938. The results showed that group competencies taught with Problem Based Learning (mean=88.72) were better than group competencies taught by direct learning methods (mean=73.33). Improved test results showed a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group (p=022). The correlation coefficient between the post-test score and the answer score of the Problem Based Learning worksheet shows positive significance (p=0,000). The use of Problem Based Learning in teaching planning material results in the planning of community health centers in accordance with the problems found in the working area.
