One of the most misunderstood concepts in progressive educational curricula is that of problem-based learning (PBL). Often confused with problem solving, the two are quite different. Courses conducted in a PBL format use problems as a launch pad for resulting study. This article reviews a course designed to enable students to learn and understand the principles of human reproductive physiology using PBL. The learning process is situation based, student directed, and takes place in small groups. The rationale for some of these innovations is discussed and the way in which they were implemented is described.
渐进式教育课程中最容易被误解的概念之一是基于问题的学习(PBL)。它常常与解决问题相混淆,实际上二者有很大区别。以PBL形式开展的课程将问题作为后续学习的起点。本文回顾了一门旨在让学生运用PBL学习和理解人类生殖生理学原理的课程。学习过程以情境为基础、由学生主导,并在小组中进行。文中讨论了其中一些创新做法的基本原理,并描述了其实施方式。
