Talk:Problem-based learning

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Could somebody provide a citation for "...It was pioneered and used extensively at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.".

As far as I know PBL was pioneered and devoloped at Mastricht University in Netherlands. I might be wrong though.

Thank you.


"In the late 1960s, McMaster medical school in Ontario pioneered the first completely problem based medical curriculum, with Maastricht following in 1974 as the first in Europe."

[edit] History of PBL

I believe that PBL came out of cognitive science studies in the 1970s. It was adapted at many, but not all, medical schools around the US after the GPEP report of 1984. It represents part of the integrated curriculum now boasted by many american medical schools. [1] --Bakerstmd 06:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
