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

Supporting STEM Education in Secondary Science Contexts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the teachers' understanding and perceptions of problem-based learning (PBL) as an approach to interdisciplinary STEM education as well as their perceptions of the personal and systemic challenges in implementing such an approach in their professional practice.

The many faces of problem-based learning: a framework for understanding and comparison
TL;DR: This article proposes to categorize educational activities as PBL or non-PBL according to three core principles and proposes to provide planners and/or assessors of PBL curricula with a framework that would facilitate analyses of this educational approach.

TL;DR: Observed engagement behaviors confirm the potential of team learning to foster engagement similar to PBL, but with greater faculty input, and suggest learner-to-instructor engagement appeared greater in team learning than in PBL.

The Impact of the Use of Inquiry-based Learning as a Teaching Methodology on the Development of Critical Thinking.
TL;DR: In Inquiry-based learning, the students in the low group showed a significant increase in mean score, no change in the medium group, and a significant drop for the high group, when the scores were stratified into groups.
