Abstract. Currently the Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Student Centered
Learning (SCL) learning models are starting to be applied in universities with
the aim of involving students actively in learning, one of which are Medical
students of the UNS FK. One method of these learnings is Small Group
Discussion (SGD). This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the SGD
learning method that has been applied to Medical students of the UNS FK. The
method used in this research is qualitative method. The result was found that the
SGD learning method that had been applied was still less effective, but it was
more effective compared to conventional learning methods. Therefore, it is
necessary to make some improvements to this learning method so that it is more
effective and the goal can be achieved.
1. PENDAHULUAN
2. METODE
Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif. Metode ini
bersifat deskriptif, menggunakan analisis, mengacu pada data, dan memanfaatkan teori yang
ada sebagai bahan pendukung. Peneliti melakukan analisis dengan pengamatan proses edukasi
dan melakukan wawancara dengan mahasiswa Kedokteran FK UNS.
4. SIMPULAN
Dari hasil analisis pada penelitian yang telah dilakukan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa SGD
yang telah dilaksanakan di Kedokteran FK UNS belum efektif. Namun, masih lebih efektif
bila dibandingkan dengan metode pembelajaran konvensional. Banyak faktor yang
menyebabkan belum efektifnya pelaksanaan SGD, antara lain faktor dari mahasiswa, fasilitas,
dan fasilitator. Di sisi lain, SGD sudah memberikan cukup banyak manfaat kepada
mahasiswa. Baik itu manfaat bagi diri sendiri maupun kelompok. Maka dari itu perlu
dilakukan perbaikan supaya lebih efektif.
