Direct linkDolmans, Diana H. J. M. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2019
Many educational institutions in higher education switched to problem-based learning (PBL) in the last 5 decades. Despite its' successful implementation worldwide, many institutions still encounter problems in their daily teaching practices that limit deep learning in students. This raises the question: How else can we look at PBL practice and…

Dolmans, Diana H. J. M.; Schmidt, Henk G. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2006
Students collaborating in small groups is a characteristic of problem-based learning (PBL) that is receiving increased consideration in the literature. In this paper findings from studies in this area are synthesized and discussed. A distinction is made between studies focusing on cognitive effects of group learning and studies focusing on…

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…
