Preparing Future Environmental Health Practitioners Through Problem-Based and Community-Based Approaches: Experiences of Environmental Health Students.
Students learn better when they are engaged with real-world problems. This approach is especially effective for topics of environmental health, where students have limited exposure to fieldwork during their period of study. Hence, it is important to shift from conventional instruction-based methods...

This approach is especially effective for topics of environmental health, where students have limited exposure to fieldwork during their period of study. Hence, it is important to shift from conventional instruction-based methods to innovative pedagogical approaches. Problem-based and community-based learning o er academia the tools to prepare students via the development of essential problem-solving and analytical skills. Problem-based learning enables students to identify environmental health issues and develop feasible, realistic solutions to community problems. Furthermore, community-based learning allows students to learn through community engagement and generate solutions to real environmental health issues that communities face. This study employed a qualitative approach to explore the experience of two cohorts of environmental health students regarding problem-based and community-based approaches. This study found that the students benefited from the respective approaches and gained valuable communication, leadership, problem-solving, and analytical skills that are crucial in the environmental health field. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
