Klegeris, Andis; Bahniwal, Manpreet; Hurren, Heather – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2013
Problem-based learning (PBL) was originally introduced in medical education programs as a form of small-group learning, but its use has now spread to large undergraduate classrooms in various other disciplines. Introduction of new teaching techniques, including PBL-based methods, needs to be justified by demonstrating the benefits of such…
