A

Simulator

97
Q

is an educational process in which learning is centered around problems as opposed to discrete subject-related courses. Students are given patient scenarios or difficulties in small groups, and then develop learning challenges linked to what they need to know in order to grasp the situation. They then participate in the independent self-study before returning to their groups to apply their new knowledge to the patient’s problem.

A

Problem-based Learning

98
Q

It was originally viewed as an all or none phenomenon in which an educational program had to commit entirely, to the curricular philosophy to attain the most benefits

A

Problem-based Learning, BARROWS & TAMBLYN, 1980

99
Q

Programs that had individual problem-based courses and more traditional courses running concurrently were thought to produce mixed messages in the student and devalue the problem-based components

WALTON & MATTHEWS, 1299

100
Q

A

Health professional students at all levels

101
Q

Who is thought to be more likely to revert to lecture types of behaviors and be less facilitatory?

A

Content experts

102
Q

It is increasingly popular teaching and learning strategy within the health professions. The clinical relevance, small group interactions, and active hearing provided make it an appealing curricular alternative. Faculty train-in and expertise are essential for successful outcomes.

A

Problem-based Learning

103
Q

It is an important element of the overall PBL
process. Problems are not simply a restatement of all salient clinical information. Rather, the problems are carefully designed to elicit discussion and lead to student identification of the learning issues for which the problem was designed. There is evidence that even small changes to a problem can influence the
student’s discussions (Solomon, Blumberg; & Shehata, 1992)

A

Reflective practice as a teaching method

110
Q
