The Importance of Problem Based Learning Approach for Students
Introduction
This topic was selected because of my field of study. As a pursuing healthcare professional the objectives of the health care environment required us to be self-motivated to respond to complicated situations that require skills in problem solving, professional knowledge, decision -making ability, and group collaboration. Problem-based Learning is a practical instructional technique that has positive learning outcomes. Thus far, throughout my research no scientific study so far has examined in depth the critical components that makes Problem-based learning effective. Notwithstanding, the aim of this work is to give brief overview of Problem-based education and some of …show more content…
“Problem-based learning method improves students’ recollection and critical thinking skills by involving them in small group discussion to activate their prior knowledge and it will in return help their retention. By stimulation, problem-based learning helps students to elaborate on what they discussed and this can boost their cognitive skills”. Confirmation that problem based learning method promotes students’ retention and critical thinking skills, there are some scholars who support the statement back by their research findings. Scholar Schmidt, H. G. (1983) based his finding is based on his judgement by “studying the works for real-world evidence supporting the academic advantages claimed for problem Based Learning and concluded his findings based on consistency reports that Problem Based Learning is effective on students’ retention of information longer than students under conventional …show more content…
“Problem Based Learning Method assist students to be independent learner by investigating and debating problems and through that they can learn how to deal with problems in the future, preparing themselves to become independent, and to be lifetime learners”. During my research, there were two scholars found that support this claim. Barrows, H. S. (1996) study by using information from library circulation data showed that Problem Based Learning students borrowed more materials from the library during two years periods of his investigation. This proves that Problem Based Learning has long impact on independent learning skills. From Dolmans, D. H. J. M., & Schmidt, H. (1996} also evidence the effectiveness of problem Based Learning method to promote students’ independent learning by basing their investigation on faults students see in their own learning skills and examine their own strength and weaknesses. They control their own learning and develop independent learning
