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

Using game theory and Competition-based Learning to stimulate student motivation and performance
TL;DR: A framework for using Game Theory tournaments as a base to implement Competition-based Learning (CnBL), together with other classical learning techniques, to motivate the students and increase their learning performance is introduced.
Modeling units of study from a pedagogical perspective: the pedagogical meta-model behind EML
TL;DR: This text is a short summary of the work on pedagogical analysis carried out when EML (Educational Modelling Language) was being developed and will use UML diagrams to express static and dynamic relationships when appropriate.

A Problem Based Learning Meta Analysis: Differences across Problem Types, Implementation Types, Disciplines, and Assessment Levels.
Andrew Walker,Heather Leary +1 more
TL;DR: This article conducted a meta-analysis of problem-based learning across 82 studies and 201 outcomes and found that the majority favor PBL (dw = 0.13, +/.025) with a lack of homogeneity (Q = 954.27) that warrants a closer examination of moderating factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rich environments for active learning: a definition
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report that people at every organizational level must be creative and flexible problem solvers (Lynton, 1989), which requires the ability to apply experience and a definition knowledge to address novel problems.
