Abouzeid, Enjy; Sallam, Moataz A. – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2023
Clinical competence is multi-dimensional and must be acquired by all medical students. Accordingly, a prospective quasi-experimental study was conducted to evaluate the merging of script concordance testing (SCT) and team-based learning (TBL) as a teaching/learning approach for medical students in clinical settings. The study comprised three…

Stocks, Claire; Trevitt, Chris; Hughes, Joseph – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2018
The potential of action learning (AL) for academic development has not received a lot of attention. Building from two case studies in which AL has been used in different ways in research-intensive universities in Australia and the UK, we suggest that the approach may be of benefit to developers in the changing landscape in which they are expected…

Marklin Reynolds, Jeanie; Hancock, Dawson R. – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2010
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a teaching/learning strategy through which students learn course content by solving real-world problems associated with the course material. Although the benefits of PBL have been amply demonstrated in the medical field and other selected subject areas, few studies have examined PBL's potential contributions in…

Donnelly, Roisin – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2013
The central idea of this study is using blended problem-based learning (PBL) in an academic development context with key roles emphasised: academic staff in the role of students and the academic developer as the tutor. The context is a module entitled "Designing e-Learning" on a postgraduate programme for academic staff in Ireland. It is…

Yu, Wen-Feng; She, Hsiao-Ching; Lee, Yu-Mei – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2010
This study investigates the effects of two factors: the mode of problem-solving instruction (i.e. Web-based versus non-Web-based) and the level of academic achievement (i.e. high achievers versus low achievers) on students' problem-solving ability and biology achievement. A quasi-experimental design was used, in which the experimental group…

Polanco, Rodrigo; Calderon, Patricia; Delgado, Francisco – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2004
The aim of this paper is to report on a three-year follow-up evaluation of an experimental problem-based learning (PBL) integrated curriculum directed to second-year engineering students. The PBL curriculum brought together the contents of physics, mathematics and computer science courses into a single course. Instead of the students having to…

Chung, Jenny; Chow, Susanna – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2004
This study, adopting an action-learning approach, aimed to redesign an existing problem-based learning (PBL) subject curriculum to accommodate the learning potential and interests of students. Based on students' perceptions of learning and learning experiences with PBL, a Subject Planning Team (SPT) consisting of both students and teachers was…
