Problem-Based Learning in a Health Sciences Curriculum (Hardcover)

Problem-based learning is an approach which places the student at the centre of the learning process and is aimed at integrating what is learned in a lecture with what the student actually experiences in practice. In this book, the authors draw on their experience of designing and implementing a course for nurse education in Australia to present effective strategies for those considering adopting the approach or adapting it to their own curriculum needs. The book identifies the advantages of such a method of learning in nursing and indicates how these might be extended to allied health disciplines, education and distance education. Each chapter addresses a particular aspect of problem-based learning, such as developing learning packages in chapters 1 and 2, looking at possible future questions for problem-based learning, and considering the necessary conditions for the development and maintenance of such a course. Other chapters discuss the integration of various types of knowledge and evaluation, and in chapter 10 particular emphasis is put on guidance for adapting the course to use within a more traditional curriculum.
