    This article is hosted by the Midset website. Through this link you can find a brief description of "mindset". The site as a whole has some great resources and I encourage you to look around if you visit. Through this site you can "test your mindset" to see if it is more of a "fixed mindset" or "growth mindset".

      although there was not an overall statistical difference in the results between PBL and LBL, there may be a deeper understanding in the pbl group
  • Regarding the main questions of the study that have been formulated above, two findings seem to be most important: Firstly, our study has shown, that it is in fact practically possible to implement PBL as an educational strategy under the conditions of a large German medical school. Secondly, the study provided sound evidence that the PBL approach does not lead to disadvantages concerning students' factual knowledge as measured by a combination of multiple-choice and short-essay questions. The results of our study therefore support earlier findings2[3]–4 and constitute another link in the chain of evidence indicating that PBL is equipotent to LBL as far as students' factual knowledge is concerned.Further conclusions are more difficult to draw: The fact that the PBL students achieved slightly better results in the category of short-essay questions might indicate, that an examination testing more complex levels of knowledge (i.e. on the comprehension or analysis level), is more appropriate for testing the outcome of PBL in terms of factual knowledge than multiple-choice questions. An intra-group comparison of the two categories of questions further supported this hypothesis, revealing that students who had undergone the lecture-based course scored significantly lower in the short-essay part, whereas their PBL counterparts reached similar results in both categories of questions. It is important to stress though, that the direct comparison of the short-essay results in both groups only showed marginal results. Also, the multiple-choice questions we used in our study were not intended to assess a more complex, i.e. comprehension or analysis level of knowledge. Hence, if there is a difference, it is not necessarily a difference between multiple-choice and short-essay questions, but between questions addressing different levels of knowledge.

Traditional Vs. PBL Styles - 0 views

  •  
    Follow up to my last post, this article written about medical school curriculum explains the differences within the two learning styles (Traditional vs. PBL). Studies show that a combination of both styles is the best way to teach and will produce a student who can excel on tests as well as on rounds/work area.

Classroom demonstrations: Learning tools or entertainment? - 0 views

  •  
    The study shows that the level of interaction of a demonstration can range from passive (more entertainment purposes) to engaged understanding. The greater the engagement, the better the learning. Predicting and discussing a demonstration resulted in better retention (correct prediction and explanation of the same demo on a test) than simply observing it.
