Yew, Elaine H. J.; Schmidt, Henk G. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2009
The goal of this study was to increase our understanding of the learning-oriented verbal interactions taking place between students during the problem-based learning (PBL) cycle. The verbal interactions of one PBL group of five students throughout an entire PBL cycle were recorded in this data-intensive case study. The verbatim transcript…
