The Problem-Based Learning Approach as an Enhancement Factor of Personal Meaningfulness of Learning.

Sobral, D. T.

Higher Education, v29 n1 p93-101 Jan 1995

This study compared the learning attitudes of 131 undergraduate medical students enrolled in sections of a course that used a problem-based learning (PBL) approach with 120 students enrolled in sections using conventional teaching methods. Student surveys indicated that the PBL course experience was perceived as a personally more meaningful learning experience than the conventional course experience. (MDM)
