| Abstract | 146 students enrolled in the Problem Based Learning dental program at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry completed the Kolb 's Learning Style Inventory 3 and a Likert scale satisfaction survey. 9 dimensions of students' satisfaction were examined including the degree that students believe the PBL program is adequately preparing them to be successful in their future professional positions, how prepared students feel they are to work collaboratively with other professionals, the degree that students feel the program conveys basic science principles, the degree that students feel small groups help them acquire knowledge, how satisfied students are with the program 's ability to prepare them for working with patients in the future, the degree that the program is meeting their expectations, and how the PBL program compares with past traditional education. Responses were analyzed to determine if learning style as defined by Kolb 's Experiential Learning Theory related to satisfaction with the PBL program. Results showed that no significant relationship existed between learning style and satisfaction with the PBL program. However, the number of years students participated in the program was found to have a significant relationship with 8 of the 9 measures of student satisfaction. Medium to low student satisfaction was found overall. |
