Methods: An intervention study carried out on 27 third year undergraduate nursing students in the nursing and midwifery faculty of Kashan University of Medical Sciences. Problem-based learning method was used for one group (n = 13) and the other group were taught with traditional lecture method (n = 14) over 1 semester. In each group there were 8, 2-hour teaching sessions. Finally the two groups passed a same exam. Viewpoints of students in PBL group were also obtained. Chi squared and Mann–Whitney U testes were used in data analysis. Results: The mean score was 12.76 in problem-based learning and 12.21 in lecture group. However no statistical significant difference was observed in final scores. The mean score of satisfaction was 3.5±0.78 (out of 5) in the PBL group. Conclusions: This study showed that the problem-based learning had no significant effect on cognitive abilities of these students but on students viewpoints it may improves their communication skills, motivation and interaction abilities.}, keywords = {Teaching Method,Lecture,Problem-based learning,students viewpoints}, url = {https://fmej.mums.ac.ir/article_900.html}, eprint = {https://fmej.mums.ac.ir/article_900_b9c1e1db8f31fde40f2d3de763ea2b17.pdf} }
