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: engaging students in acquisition of mathematical competency
TL;DR: In this article, a quasi experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of PBL on mathematics performance, measure of instructional efficiency and perceived advantages or disadvantages of the approach, which indicated that there was no significant difference in the mean scores of the overall mathematics performance between the PBL group and the control group.
