This study was conducted with the participation of students consisting of first-second year who were undergoing training in Medical Laboratory Program (MLP) of Bülent Ecevit University Ahmet Erdogan Health Services Vocational School. With this research, it is aimed that students of MLP which gives education based on practice process their microbiology course with problembased learning (PBL) approach within the scope of development of human resources through vocational training project; providing for students to effective and meaningful learning, it is intented to reveal whether or not the lack of information and remedy the deficiencies. Questionnaire which have been prepared by benefiting from questions used in similar previous studies was applied for data collection. The data have been analyzed via SPSS. The results showed that research participants in general had a positive opinion. It was determined that the effectiveness of this course would increase with increasing the use of PBL.

Bu çalışma, Bülent Ecevit Üniversitesi Ahmet Erdoğan Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri Bölümünde eğitim görmekte olan Tıbbi Laboratuar Teknikleri programı birinci ve ikinci sınıf öğrencilerinin katılımı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan bu araştırma ile uygulamaya dayalı eğitim veren Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikler bölümüne ait Tıbbi Laboratuvar Teknikleri programı öğrencilerinin insan kaynaklarının mesleki eğitim yoluyla geliştirilmesi projesi kapsamında mikrobiyoloji derslerini probleme dayalı öğrenme (PDÖ) yaklaşımıyla işlemeleri; öğrencilerin etkili ve anlamlı öğrenmesini sağlayarak, bilgi eksikliklerinin olup olmadığının açığa çıkarılması ve eksikliklerinin giderilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Daha önceki benzer çalışmalarda kullanılan PDO sorularından yararlanılarak hazırlanmış anket verilerin toplama için uygulanmıştır. Verilerin istatistiksel analizinde SPSS programı kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar göstermiştir ki; araştırmaya katılanların genel olarak PDÖ yöntemine ilişkin olumlu görüşlere sahip oldukları ve bu yöntemin kullanımının arttırılmasıyla dersin etkinliğinin artacağı tespit edilmiştir.
