Problem-Based Learning

Problem Based Learning for Learners: A Primer is an interesting and unique new text written with the occupational therapist in mind. Following the PBL process, the scenario for exploration is established by using "problem-based learning". Developed from the perspective of a learner resource, over 30 years of experience within a problem-based learning environment is brought to the pages of this comprehensive text, from the author. While it is necessary to understand the process of problem-based learning, "doing" is the main focus of teaching in this text. Inside the different steps taken in the PBL process are covered, such as articuiating the problem, deciding what is already known, brainstorming ideas, defining a learning plan, researching, synthesizing the knowledge learned, and re-defining further learning needs.
