چکیده
their research and applies new knowledge to the problem. The group also critiques their previous work. Phase four involves summary and integration. Wood (2003) described the Maastritch model of the ‘seven jump’ steps comprising of identifying and clarifying unfamiliar terms, defining problem, brainstorming, reviewing definition and discussion of brainstorming and arranging explanations and solutions, formulating learning objectives, private study, and lastly, sharing of results of self-study. Both the McMaster (Barrows, 1995) and the Maastritch models involve similar processes. There does not seem to be much difference in the processes presented. Amos and White (1998) identified seven outcomes of PBL; critical thinking through the process of reflection (Burton, 2000), learning how to learn, creativity in learning, link to community, teamwork, research skills and personal growth. The expected outcome from both programmes seems to be similar. Introduction Problem-based learning (PBL) is not problem solving (Wood, 2003) or case-based instructions. PBL is a learning strategy which begins and centres on a clinical problem (Alexander, McDaniel, Baldwin & Money, 2002; Pross, 2002). It has its origin from the McMaster University and is widely used in the training of medical students (Barrows & Tamblyn, 1997). It was only until recently that problem-based learning was introduced into the faculty of nursing and more recently into clinical nursing practice. What evidence is there that learning has been effective in PBL? This paper will present models of the processes of PBL. It aims to explore the literature for evidence of its effectiveness in enhancing the three domains of learning, namely knowledge, skills and attitudes. Implications for feasibility of implementation of PBL will be addressed.
