This article critically examines "Laura's Story: Using Problem-Based Learning in Early Childhood and Primary Teacher Education" by Suzy Edwards and Marie Hammer (2006), highlighting its significant impact on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) research. This seminal work is distinguished by its practical focus on teacher education, using the narrative of Laura's story to demonstrate PBL's effectiveness in real-world teacher education scenarios. The article employs a slow-reading approach, offering a detailed and reflective examination of the sections of the text from introduction to conclusion. This thorough analysis aims to uncover deeper meanings and assess the text's influence on the role of PBL in developing essential teaching skills. Through this meticulous process, the article seeks to provide valuable insights into PBL's application in teacher education, highlight its pedagogical implications, and suggests directions for future research.
