TLDR
This book presents the scientific basis of problem-based learning and goes on to describe the approaches to problem- based medical learning that have been developed over the years at McMaster University, largely by Barrows and Tamblyn.Abstract:
In this book, the authors address some basic problems in the learning of biomedical science, medicine, and the other health sciences Students in most medical schools, especially in basic science courses, are required to memorize a large number of ""facts,"" facts which may or may not be relevant to medical practice Problem-based learning has two fundamental postulates--the learning through problem-solving is much more effective for creating a body of knowledge usable in the future, and that physician skills most important for patients are problem-solving skills, rather than memory skills This book presents the scientific basis of problem-based learning and goes on to describe the approaches to problem-based medical learning that have been developed over the years at McMaster University, largely by Barrows and Tamblynread more

Problem-Based Learning in Biomechanics: Advantages, Challenges, and Implementation Strategies
TL;DR: The benefits for both professors and students support the use of PBL in biomedical engineering education, and practical guidelines for implementing PBL are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of creative problem-solving abilities in undergraduate structural engineers through interdisciplinary problem-based learning
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the strategies employed to engage higher order thinking in structural engineering students in order to help them solve complex problem-based learning (PBL) design scenarios presented by architecture students.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding Undergraduate Research Experiences through the Lens of Problem-based Learning: Implications for Curriculum Translation
TL;DR: The findings revealed that moderately structured and fairly complex UR problems are well-suited for PBL implementation in the classroom because they trigger the use of multiple cognitive operations in the context of a continuously changing, dynamic, and interdisciplinary team environment.
