Chng, Esther; Yew, Elaine H. J.; Schmidt, Henk G. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2015
The purpose of this study was to investigate how tutor behaviours influence learning in problem-based learning (PBL). A previous study had indicated a significant influence of the tutor's social congruent behaviour on the PBL process and this study further investigates this finding by examining two groups of tutors displaying differences in…

van Mook, Walther N. K. A.; Muijtjens, Arno M. M.; Gorter, Simone L.; Zwaveling, Jan Harm; Schuwirth, Lambert W.; van der Vleuten, Cees P. M. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2012
Although other web-based approaches to assessment of professional behaviour have been studied, no publications studying the potential advantages of a web-based instrument versus a classic, paper-based method have been published to date. This study has two research goals: it focuses on the quantity and quality of comments provided by students and…

de Jong, N.; Verstegen, D. M. L.; Tan, F. E. S.; O'Connor, S. J. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2013
This case-study compared traditional, face-to-face classroom-based teaching with asynchronous online learning and teaching methods in two sets of students undertaking a problem-based learning module in the multilevel and exploratory factor analysis of longitudinal data as part of a Masters degree in Public Health at Maastricht University. Students…

Lee, Young-Mee; Mann, Karen V.; Frank, Blye W. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2010
Evidence supporting Problem-based learning (PBL) fostering students' self-directed learning (SDL) in hybrid PBL curricula is inconsistent. To explore the influence of PBL in a hybrid curriculum on students' SDL, the authors investigated the following: (1) students' self-assessed SDL ability, (2) students' perceptions of the influence of curricular…

Papinczak, Tracey – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2009
The aim of this study was to determine if medical students categorised as having deep and strategic approaches to their learning find problem-based learning (PBL) enjoyable and supportive of their learning, and achieve well in the first-year course. Quantitative and qualitative data were gathered from first-year medical students (N = 213). All…

Papinczak, Tracey; Young, Louise; Groves, Michele; Haynes, Michele – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2008
Aim: To determine the influence of metacognitive activities within the PBL tutorial environment on the development of deep learning approach, reduction in surface approach, and enhancement of individual learning self-efficacy. Method: Participants were first-year medical students (N = 213). A pre-test, post-test design was implemented with…

Crandall, Sonia J. S.; Reboussin, Beth A.; Michielutte, Robert; Anthony, Jennie E.; Naughton, Michelle J. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2007
Medical education has been shown to negatively influence student attitudes toward certain types of patient populations. Past research does not inform current educational practice because today's medical school environment is different from when most of the published research was conducted. There are more female students, curricular innovations…

Visschers-Pleijers, Astrid J. S. F.; Dolmans, Diana H. J. M.; Wolfhagen, Ineke H. A. P.; Van der. Vleuten, Cees P. M. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2005
Introduction: In group learning settings like problem-based learning (PBL), the quality of interaction is closely related to group success. However, research and practice have shown that the interaction in tutorial groups is not optimal. In the present study, a questionnaire was used to measure students' perceptions of occurrence and desirability…
