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

Pedagogies of Engagement: Classroom-Based Practices
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on classroom-based pedagogies of engagement, particularly cooperative and problem-based learning, and present a brief history, theoretical roots, research support, summary of practices, and suggestions for redesigning engineering classes and programs to include more student engagement.

Where's the evidence that active learning works?
TL;DR: There is a growing body of research within specific scientific teaching communities that supports and validates the new approaches to teaching that have been adopted, and their applicability to physiology education is discussed.

Rocky Roads to Transfer: Rethinking Mechanism of a Neglected Phenomenon
Gavriel Salomon,David N. Perkins +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that transfer occurs in two ways: forward-reaching and backward-reaching transfer, where one mindfully abstracts basic elements in anticipation for later application and deliberately searches for relevant knowledge already acquired.
Over-scripting CSCL: The risks of blending collaborative learning with instructional design
TL;DR: The definition of scripts constitutes a promising convergence between educational engineering and socio-cultural approaches but, on the other hand, it drifts away from the genuine notion of collaborative learning.

AMEE Guide No 20: The good teacher is more than a lecturer - the twelve roles of the teacher
Ronald M. Harden,J. R. Crosby +1 more
TL;DR: The role model framework is of use in the assessment of the needs for staff to implement a curriculum, in the appointment and promotion of teachers and in the organization of a staff development programme.
