5. A CLINICAL EXPERT OR
DOCTOR

6. Mary Smith, a 28-year-old office
worker and part-time swimming
instructor, comes to see her doctor
because of pain in her chest and
shortness of breath. This has
been a recurring problem in recent
months and seems to be gradually
worse. On the previous evening,
while participating in a swimming
gala, she became so short of breath
that she found it difficult to walk.

7. ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION

8. Further discussion with her doctor reveals that
Ms. Smith’s chest pain and shortness of breath
come on following exercise, particularly in a
cold environment. When she becomes
particularly short of breath, she starts to
wheeze. She sometimes has a dry cough and has
never had Haemoptysis. There is no recent
history of physical trauma and no personal or
family history of heart disease. She had eczema
in childhood but has never had asthma. She has
smoked for the past 5 years and increased her
smoking to 40 cigarettes a day since she broke
up with her intimate friend 3 months ago. She
takes an oral contraceptive pill but no other
medication.

11.  An approach to learning
focusing on the process of
solving a problem and acquiring
a knowledge.
Definition of
PBL

12. Definition of
PBL
 An instructional
approach which uses carefully constructed
problems as a context for students to:
define their learning needs, conduct self-
directed enquiry, integrate theory and
practice, and apply knowledge and skills to
develop a solution to a defined problem.

14. History of
PBL
 The PBL format originated from
the of thought.
 It was developed at
in
in the
 By and his
colleagues.

15. Research in
PBL
Research has shown that graduates of
PBL based courses are far more
over 5
to 10 years following graduation (P.
Jolliffe, University of British Columbia,
in paper at ISHH Hort Education
Symposium, Perth 2004).

16. Research in
PBLEntire medical degrees have been taught
this way in the USA, and students from this
and traditional systems given the same
exams. Research has shown similar success
rates in exams, but 10 years later, the PBL
(P.
Jolliffe, University of British Columbia, in
paper at ISHH Hort Education Symposium,
Perth 2004).

17.  Relies on Problems (Well defined Cases) to
drive curriculum.
Characteristics of PBL
PBL relies on real life problems, where
students act as professionals.
 PBL problems are not precise –they are not
intended to generate neat answers. In their
struggle to find the answer, the students will
gain essential problem solving and critical
thinking skills.

18. Characteristics of PBL
Teaching staff are facilitators or coaches,
and must resist providing solutions
(Students solve the problems).
There are no single correct or incorrect
solutions (Problems must be designed so
that different appropriate answers might
apply) –there is never meant to be just one
solution.

19.  "What is going on here?
 What do we need to know more about?
 What did we do during the problem
that was effective?"
Over a period of time, students
become self-directed learners, teachers
then fade (Stepien and Gallagher, 1993).

20. Students are provided with guidance but
not answers –they should be given guidance
in techniques that might be used for
problem solving.
Characteristics of PBL
Assessment should be based upon
performance not upon giving correct
answers.

22. 2. List what is known.
1. Present the problem statement.
3. Develop a problem statement.
4. List what is needed.
5. List possible actions,
recommendations, solutions, or
hypotheses.
6. Present and support the solution.
Steps in PBL

25. “Mathematics teachers must teach
students not only to solve problems but
also
to learn about mathematics through
problem solving”. -MacMath, S.
