Improving Competency Management of Public Health Center In Indonesia Using The Problem Based Learning Model

The ineffectiveness of the existing training model in Indonesia, especially for remote area health center managers, needs to develop a Problem Based Learning model that is appropriate to the problems in the area. The methodological approach taken in this study is a quasi-experimental, pre-posttest control design. The study subjects consisted of 26 Public Health Centre heads from remote areas in South Sulawesi Province. The data collection instrument used was pre-posttest with Alpha Cronbach reliability coefficient of 0.938. The results showed that group competencies taught with Problem Based Learning (mean=88.72) were better than group competencies taught by direct learning methods (mean=73.33). Improved test results showed a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group (p=022). The correlation coefficient between the post-test score and the answer score of the Problem Based Learning worksheet shows positive significance (p=0,000). The use of Problem Based Learning in teaching planning material results in the planning of community health centers in accordance with the problems found in the working area
