Dabbagh, Nada H.; Jonassen, David H.; Yueh, Hsui-Ping; Samouilova, Marina – Performance Improvement Quarterly, 2000
This case study examines the application of problem-based learning to the teaching of introductory instructional design (ISD). Suggests that ISD is a dynamic process of problem understanding and problem solution and that ISD instruction should therefore focus more on the problem attributes and not on the generality of the systems approach model.…

Johnston, Alexandra K.; Tinning, Robina S. – Nurse Education Today, 2001
An effective way to prepare teachers to facilitate problem-based learning (PBL) is group reflective practice. First the group discusses the practice of PBL facilitation. Then participants critically analyze their personal practice of facilitation in the context of PBL. (Contains 52 references.) (SK)

Price, Bob – Nurse Education Today, 2000
Evaluation of a distance learning nursing program that used problem-based learning tutorials shows it resulted in both student achievement and enjoyment. Results demonstrated the importance of well-written and accessible learning materials, realistic goals, and allowance for the learning curve of tutors. (SK)

Gijbels, David; Dochy, Filip; Van den Bossche, Piet; Segers, Mien – Review of Educational Research, 2005
This meta-analysis investigated the influence of assessment on the reported effects of problem-based learning (PBL) by applying Sugrue's (1995) model of cognitive components of problem solving. Three levels of the knowledge structure that can be targeted by assessment of problem solving are used as the main independent variables: (a) understanding…

Beckelhimer, Lisa; Hundemer, Ronald; Sharp, Judith; Zipfel, William – CEA Forum, 2007
For several years a number of instructors at the University of Cincinnati have experimented with the concept of problem-based learning (PBL) in their composition courses. The concept, rooted as it is in Socratic method and the hands-on problem-solving advocated by John Dewey, is not new, and though some of its applications may call for adjustments…

Dalsgaard, Christian; Godsk, Mikkel – Open Learning, 2007
This paper presents our experiences and the challenges identified in transforming traditional lecture-based modules at a university into problem-based blended learning within a social constructivist approach. Our experiment was, among other factors, motivated by an urgent need to meet new curriculum requirements by reducing the lecturing time in a…

Clouston, Teena J. – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2007
This article explores the use of discourse analysis and conversation analysis as an evaluation tool in problem-based learning. The basic principles of the methods are discussed and their application in analysing talk in problem-based learning considered. Findings suggest that these methods could enable an understanding of how effective…
