Chang, Nada – Bioscene, 2000
Points out the importance of the ability to apply knowledge in a problem-solving manner to real-life situations for biology students rather than possessing an exhaustive accumulation of facts. Describes a teaching approach that employs three-dimensional animal models to teach the student how to use deductive reasoning and critical analysis to…

Direct linkSadighi, Mehri; Reichman, Nurit; Wilson, Kaye; Carne, Alan; Thompson, Mary P. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2006
We describe an undergraduate laboratory experiment that combines the advantages of problem-based learning with the need for biochemistry students to become proficient in practical laboratory skills. It also avoids the need to obtain ethical approval for recruiting volunteers and eliminates any possible biosafety issues with the handling and…

Bonds, Wesley D., Sr.; Paolella, Mary Jane – American Biology Teacher, 2006
A single-semester elective combines Mendelian and molecular genetics in a problem-solving format. Students encounter a genetic disease scenario, construct a family pedigree, and try to confirm their medical diagnoses through laboratory experiences. Encouraged to generate ideas as they test their hypotheses, students realize the importance of data…
