van der Vleuten, Cees P. M.; Schuwirth, Lambert W. T. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2019
Arguably, constructive alignment has been the major challenge for assessment in the context of problem-based learning (PBL). PBL focuses on promoting abilities such as clinical reasoning, team skills and metacognition. PBL also aims to foster self-directed learning and deep learning as opposed to rote learning. This has incentivized researchers in…
