Suhre, Cor J. M.; Harskamp, Egbert G. – Nurse Education Today, 2001
Data from 58 nursing students and 19 teachers evaluated an alternative curriculum that integrates problem-based learning with training in planning and social skills and reflection on learning. Compared to prior students, those in the new program appear more capable of reflecting on knowledge. Application of theory to practice needs improvement.…

Kendler, Barry S.; Grove, Patricia A. – American Biology Teacher, 2004
Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a pedagogical approach to learning that presents curriculum-related problem or situation whose solution requires students to practice skills of analysis, integration, and application. Two settings using PBL are demonstrated to study the effectiveness and strength of this learning technique in school curriculum.

Mercier, Julien; Frederiksen, C. H. – Learning and Instruction, 2007
There is a scarcity of research regarding help seeking in the context of computer learning environments providing on-demand help, a context in which help-seeking skills appear critical for learning [Aleven, V., Stahl, E., Schworm, S., Fisher, F., & Wallace, R. (2003). "Help seeking and help design in interactive learning environments." "Review of…

Hydorn, Debra L. – Journal of Statistics Education, 2007
Service-learning projects are a useful method for students to learn both the practice and value of statistical methods. Effective service learning, however, depends on several factors and can be implemented according to a variety of models. In this article, different models for incorporating service-learning in statistics courses are presented…

Boss, Suzie; Krauss, Jane – Principal Leadership, 2007
Project-based learning is not a new idea. It has a solid track record of increasing student motivation and improving students' problem-solving and higher-order thinking skills (Stites, 1998; Thomas, 2000). In the traditional model, students work in teams to investigate open-ended questions and apply their knowledge through culminating products or…

Fyrenius, Anna; Silen, Charlotte; Wirell, Staffan – Advances in Physiology Education, 2007
Medical physiology is known to be a complex area where students develop significant errors in conceptual understanding. Students' knowledge is often bound to situational descriptions rather than underlying principles. This study explores how medical students discern and process underlying principles in physiology. Indepth interviews, where…
