Essential readings in problem-based learning /

Like most good educational interventions, problem-based learning (PBL) did not grow out of theory, but out of a practical problem. Medical students were bored, dropping out and unable to apply what they had learned in lectures to their practical experiences a couple of years later. Neurologist Howar...
