The Relationship between Student-Generated Learning Issues and Self-Study in Problem-Based Learning.
Peer reviewedDolmans, Diana H. J. M.; And Others – Instructional Science, 1994
Describes a study of medical school students in The Netherlands that tested the assumption of problem-based learning that learning issues, generated by students while discussing a problem, are used as guides for self-directed learning activities. Faculty objectives and student-generated learning issues are compared. (LRW)

Peer reviewedDahlgren, M. Abrandt; Dahlgren, L. O. – Instructional Science, 2002
Describes a study that analyzed how students in three different Swedish university programs conceived of the meaning of problem-based learning and how they experienced their studies within a problem-based learning program. Discusses learning in context, social interaction, meta-cognitive reasoning and self-directed learning, and academic cultures.…

Peer reviewedDahlgren, Madeleine Abrandt – Instructional Science, 2000
Compares the role of course objectives in relation to students' study strategies in problem-based learning (PBL). Results comprise data from three PBL programs at Linkopings University (Sweden), in physiotherapy, psychology, and computer engineering. Faculty provided course objectives to function as supportive structures and guides for students'…

Peer reviewedDe Grave, W. S.; And Others – Instructional Science, 1996
To investigate whether problem-based learning leads to conceptual change, the cognitive and metacognitive processes of a group of medical students were studied during the problem analysis phase, and their verbal communication and thinking processes were analyzed. Stimulated recall of the thinking process during the discussion detected a conceptual…

Peer reviewedArts, Jos A. R.; Gijselaers, Wim H.; Segers, Mien S. R. – Instructional Science, 2002
Examines the redesign of a problem-based learning (PBL) course and its effects on students' cognitive learning outcomes in a college business course in the Netherlands. Compares the regular PBL course with the new authentic learning environment that included greater authenticity of case studies, more learner control, and social collaboration that…

Peer reviewedBoreham, N. C.; And Others – Instructional Science, 1985
This study investigated the effects of two sequences of instruction--theory-to-application and application-to-theory--on medical students' cognitive preferences in preclinical science teaching. Results indicate that presenting an example of the clinical application of biochemical theory before presenting the theory itself increased students'…
