  • Publisher : Springer Publishing Company
  • Release : 1980-03-15
  • ISBN : 0826128424
  • Pages : 225 pages

Download or read book Problem Based Learning written by Howard S. Barrows, MD and published by Springer Publishing Company. This book was released on 1980-03-15 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 Tamblyn.

Abstract: The notion that problem-based learning (PBL) denotes a deep process, which allows students to make sense of their learning experience by integrating newly acquired knowledge with prior knowledge and experiences, has been well acknowledged. Whereas, research indicates that problem-based learning can facilitate the development of students' higher-order thinking skills, few studies examine the underlying theoretical foundation and effect of PBL in the field of nursing education. This study aims to empirically study the effects of problem-based learning on higher-order thinking in nursing education, in particular, to examine the educational theories of constructivism and social constructivism and their application to professional education in PBL. It was envisaged that results of the study would provide a direction in the development of teaching materials that would enhance classroom as well as clinical learning in nursing. The study adopted a pre & post quasi-experimental design to determine the effects of problem-based learning on higher-order thinking in a group of 24 second year students enrolled in the Higher Diploma in Nursing for a period of 14 weeks. To ascertain its effects on higher-order thinking, data were obtained from pre & post epistemological belief questionnaires, study process questionnaires and motivational strategies & learning questionnaires related to both cognitive and metacognitive arenas. These, together with students' reflective journals, focus group interviews, audio tapes of students' PBL tutorial group interactions and results of examination papers, focused on conceptual learning and understanding. A statistical analysis of the questionnaires revealed that students in the study group who showed some changes in high level thinking abilities in terms of adapting constructive learning styles, were more thoughtful with an improvement in cognitive abilities; but there were no significant differences between the PBL and the NPBL groups. However, the qualitative data attributed the success of PBL to provision of opportunities for students' interactions, enabling them to view the learning pathway, at the metacognitive level, ranging from problem identification, proposing learning issues, knowledge research and sharing, and finally revisiting the scenario to solve particular problems. This study argued that problem-based learning appeared to be an effective way to enhance development of higher-order thinking skills of Chinese nursing students in professional education. Possible factors determining the results were discussed. Theoretical significance and educational implications were presented. Finally, the study's limitations were addressed and future studies were also suggested. DOI: 10.5353/th_b5063932

Book Lessons from Problem based Learning

Download or read book Lessons from Problem based Learning written by H. J. M. van Berkel and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problem-based learning (PBL) has excited interest among educators around the world for several decades. Among the most notable applications of PBL is the approach taken at the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life sciences (FHML) at Maastricht University, the Netherlands. Starting in 1974 as a medical school, the faculty embarked on the innovative pathway of problem-based learning, trying to establish a medical training program which applied recent insights of education which would be better adapted to the needs of the modem physician. The medical school, currently part of the FHML, can be considered as an 'established' school, where original innovations and educational changes have become part of a routine. The first book to bring this wealth of information together, Lessons from Problem-based Learning documents those findings and shares the experiences of those involved, to encourage further debate and refinement of problem-based learning in specific applications elsewhere and in general educational discussion and thought. Each chapter provides a description of why and what has been done in the Maastricht program, followed by reflection on the benefits and issues that have arisen for these developments. The final section of the book examines the application of PBL in the future, and how it is likely to develop further.
