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

'There's a lot of learning going on but NOT much teaching!': student perceptions of Problem-Based Learning in science
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on 625 student responses and analyse student perceptions of Problem-Based Learning during their first semester at university and conclude that the general student response to change is more positive if they are informed and supported when a different teaching and learning strategy is introduced and that many students require training and support to bec...

Problem-based learning in the fifth, sixth, and seventh grades: Assessment of students' perceptions
TL;DR: The authors examined the effects of students' characteristics (gender, age, and first language spoken at home) on their perceptions about problem-based learning (PBL) and found that students from the fifth, sixth and seventh grades perceived PBL in a positive way but there were significant differences between the grades.
