Opis

Problem-based learning is a way of constructing and teaching courses using problems as the stimulus and focus for student activity. This revised edition examines problem-based learning to establish its significance, how it can be used and its strengths and limitations. The book collects together experiences from many countries and fields of practice - from architecture to computer studies, from engineering to social work - in order to present a picture of the role of problem-based learning in practice.
