Problem Based Learning
Foundations of problem-based learning (Savin-Baden and Howell Major (2004) provides a very useful overview of the principles and practices of problem-based learning.
In acknowledging the long use of problem solving as a learning strategy, they attribute the contemporary use of problem based learning in formalised education to use in a medical faculty in the 1980s.
Modes of problem-based learning are identified as lecture-based, case-based, case-methods, modified case-based, problem-based and closed –loop problem-based. They also compare problem-based learning with project-based, problem-solving and action learning.
