Cultivating Problem-Solving Skills through Problem-Based Approaches to Professional Development.

Lohman, Margaret C.

Human Resource Development Quarterly, v13 n3 p243-61,263-69 Fall 2002

A literature review analyzed training designs in four professional development approaches: case study, goal-based scenario, problem-based learning, and action learning. Case study and scenario tended to foster single-loop learning and solution of well-structured problems; problem-based and action learning fostered double-loop learning and ill-structured problem solution. (Contains 54 references. "Invited Reaction" by Richard E. Mayer contains 16 references.) (SK)
