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 for nursing: Integrating lessons from other disciplines with nursing experiences
TL;DR: Key implementation issues are identified, including the challenge to persuade faculty to move from efficient teaching to effective learning, and the potential of PBL for nursing education is examined.

The structural relationship between students’ epistemological beliefs and conceptions of teaching and learning
TL;DR: This article explored the relationship between students' epistemological beliefs and conceptions of teaching and learning and found that students who do not believe in teachers as a main source of expertise tend to have constructivist conceptions of learning and learning.

Clinical anatomy as the basis for clinical examination: development and evaluation of an Introduction to Clinical Examination in a problem-oriented medical curriculum.
TL;DR: It is concluded that medical students recognize the importance of anatomy as the basis for clinical examination when exposed to an appropriate integrated presentation format.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a model for problem-based learning
TL;DR: Problem-based learning is argued to be the most effective means of developing the general qualities of mind of the student, to securing an integration of academic and operational approaches to higher education and to instilling a high level of motivation and a capacity for active learning.

Problem-based learning: Student learning experiences and outcomes
Michael Prosser,Daniel Sze +1 more
TL;DR: Meta-analyses of input–output studies of PBL in comparison with traditional approaches and a summary of qualitative, phenomenographic and factor analytic analyses of student experiences when studying health sciences (dentistry and medicine) using PBL curricula reveal a diversity of student views.
