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

Facilitating problem-based learning among undergraduate nursing students: A qualitative systematic review
Jacqueline Wosinski,Anne E. Belcher,Yvan Dürrenberger,Anne Claude Allin,Coraline Stormacq,Linda Gerson +5 more
TL;DR: Recommendations are that tutors should be trained to effectively guide the team work of undergraduate nursing students along the PBL process in order for them to achieve its goal and nursing students should be securely introduced to PBL and experience the development of their clinical reasoning through PBL.

Physician understanding, explainability, and trust in a hypothetical machine learning risk calculator.
William K. Diprose,Nicholas Buist,Ning Hua,Quentin-Gabriel Thurier,George Shand,Reece Robinson +5 more
TL;DR: Physician understanding, explainability, and trust in ML risk calculators are related and physicians preferred ML outputs accompanied by model-agnostic explanations but the explainability method did not alter intended physician behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strategic Facilitation of Problem-Based Discussion for Teacher Professional Development
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the strategies that experienced facilitators used to promote productive discussion among science teachers and found that questioning and revoicing were the most important strategies in all sessions studied, accounting for about half of the facilitators' talk.
