Study Notes
Problem-Based Learning (PBL)
- PBL is a method that uses problems as a starting point to gain and integrate new knowledge.
- In PBL, students learn fundamental principles in the context of needing them to solve a problem.
Goals of PBL
- Enhance acquisition, retention, and use of knowledge in clinical environments.
- Reinforce clinical reasoning, scientific reasoning, critical appraisal, information literacy, and self-directed lifelong learning.
- Promote teamwork, interpersonal interactions, and increase motivation for learning.
Characteristics of PBL
- Usually based on clinical cases.
- Students determine the learning issues.
- Sessions are open-ended to allow learning to occur over time.
- The tutor is a facilitator, not necessarily an expert.
The Cognitive Basis for PBL
- The "problem" or "case" is the central starting point for PBL.
The 7 Jumps of PBL
- Explore the problem
- Create hypotheses
- Identify issues
- Elaborate a solution
- Try to solve the problem with what is currently known
- Identify what is not known and what is needed to know
- Prioritize learning needs and set learning goals and objectives
Implementation of PBL
- An instructor forms small groups of 8-10 students to conduct a particular activity.
- Three sessions: discussion, feedback/problem-solving, and resource allocation.
Learning Activities
- Explore the problem
- Create hypotheses
- Identify issues
- Elaborate a solution
- Try to solve the problem with what is currently known
- Identify what is not known and what is needed to know
- Prioritize learning needs and set learning goals and objectives
- Allocate resources
- Self-study and preparation (independent)
- Share new knowledge effectively
- Apply information to solve the problem
- Provide feedback by assessing new knowledge, problem solution, and process effectiveness
PBL Learning Environment
- Active
- Cooperative
- Flexible
- Emphasize time on task
- Tailored to student learning styles and preferences
- Role modeling
Conclusion
- Students' determination of their own "level of ignorance" (learning issues) is fundamental to PBL.
- The facilitator's role is to prompt, guide, and question to ensure learning issues are identified, researched, and discussed.
