A Team-Based Approach to Problem-Based Learning: An Evaluation of Structured Team Problem Solving.

Peterson, Michael

Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, v7 n3 p129-53 1996

A study explored the impact of structured team problem solving (STEPS) on 15 cognitive and social skills and examined learning outcomes among 26 undergraduates in a health science course. Results suggest STEPS can enhance problem-based learning (PBL) by improving task completion and group processes and may enable implementation of PBL in larger classes by providing tools to manage learning.
