The College of Health Sciences at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) is considering adopting a Problem-Based Learning approach in its curricula.
The Provost of the College, Prof. Christian Agyare, observes that traditional teaching methods fall short of addressing the needs of modern healthcare education.
“We are at a turning point in education, particularly in the field of health, where traditional approaches no longer fully meet the demands of the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. Health education must equip future practitioners with not only the knowledge but also the critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative skills required to address complex health challenges,” he said.
Speaking at the 2024 senior members retreat, he expressed hope that the move would benefit the teaching staff as well.
“This collaborative teaching method not only benefits students but also revitalizes the role of educators, making the learning process more dynamic and rewarding for everyone involved,” he said.
The Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Prof. David Asamoah, appealed to the participants to embrace the concept.
He added, “By doing so, you will be playing a very important role in shaping the future of healthcare education and ensuring that your students are prepared for the modern healthcare environment they are entering.”
Life Coach, Oludotun Osiyemi, led non-teaching senior members through a session on personal branding.
