PBL
PBL - Problem-based learning is a student-centered pedagogy in which students learn about a subject through the experience of solving an open-ended problem found in trigger material. The PBL process does not focus on problem solving with a defined solution, but it allows for the development of other desirable skills and attributes. This includes knowledge acquisition, enhanced group collaboration and communication. The PBL process was developed for medical education and has since been broadened in applications for other programs of learning. The process allows for learners to develop skills used for their future practice. It enhances critical appraisal, literature retrieval and encourages ongoing learning within a team environment.The PBL tutorial process involves working in small groups of learners. Each student takes on a role within the group that may be formal or informal and the role often alternates. It is focused on the student's reflection and reasoning to construct their own learning.Wood (2003) defines problem-based learning as a process that uses identified issues within a scenario to increase knowledge and understanding.[1] The principles of this process are listed below:
Learner-driven self-identified goals and outcomes
Students do independent, self-directed study before returning to larger group
Learning is done in small groups of 8–10 people, with a tutor to facilitate discussion
Trigger materials such as paper-based clinical scenarios, lab data, photographs, articles or videos or patients (real or simulated) can be used
The Maastricht 7 jump process helps to guide the PBL tutorial process
Based on principles of adult learning theory
All members of the group have a role to play
Allows for knowledge acquisition through combined work and intellect
Enhances teamwork and communication, problem-solving and encourages independent responsibility for shared learning - all essential skills for future practice
Anyone can do it as long it is right depending on the given causes and scenario
