Remedios, Louisa; Clarke, David; Hawthorne, Lesleyanne – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2008
PBL is described as small-group collaborative learning; however, literature on how collaboration is enacted in PBL contexts is limited. A two-year ethnographic study examined the experiences and responses of Asian students to the obligations of PBL in a Western context. Participant-observation, videotape data, and video-stimulated recall…

Crandall, Sonia J. S.; Reboussin, Beth A.; Michielutte, Robert; Anthony, Jennie E.; Naughton, Michelle J. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2007
Medical education has been shown to negatively influence student attitudes toward certain types of patient populations. Past research does not inform current educational practice because today's medical school environment is different from when most of the published research was conducted. There are more female students, curricular innovations…

McNair, Victor; Clarke, Robin B. – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2007
Technology and design was added to the Northern Ireland curriculum in September 1992 and through it, teachers seek to address the need for pupils to understand the ever-changing man-made world by developing skills and understanding in its four elements of designing, communicating, manufacturing and the use of energy and control. To be effective in…

Kieser, Jules; Livingstone, Vicki; Meldrum, Alison – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2008
The aim of the present work was to see if storytelling in a clinical dental anatomy course would increase student satisfaction. We enhanced teaching by spontaneous storytelling in problem-based learning, in half of the third-year dentistry class. At the end of the course, we administered an anonymous questionnaire to the students in the class,…

Hansen, James D. – Journal of Education for Business, 2006
In this article, the author describes the process of writing a problem-based learning (PBL) problem and shows how a typical end-of-chapter accounting problem can be converted to a PBL problem. PBL uses complex, real-world problems to motivate students to identify and research the concepts and principles they need to know to solve these problems.…
