The Problem Based Learning Theory

During the first PBL session, the designated communication forum was not utilised well within my group as a result of reliance on Facebook chat. I was concerned by this as communication was a rubric assessed component and our Facebook communication could not be seen or assessed. This influenced me to ask the group to post their communication in the forum and to lead by example and make forum posts myself. However, the importance of assessed communication was not recognised, and my attempts were ignored, subsequently prompting me to feel frustrated as we were not satisfying the rubric. M. Reddy and H. Andrade, (2009) shows that reading the rubric as a group, allows for everyone's interpretation to be considered and the rubric fulfilled more comprehensively. During the second PBL task, we viewed the rubric together and identified key assessment components and created strategies to fulfil them. This made me more comfortable as I could express other rubric queries openly. This experience taught me that viewing criteria as a group is vital in allowing everyone to develop the

Problem-based teaching is also rare in tertiary education though it would help because it uses a rich array of modes.” (Fleming, 1995)

Prompt 1: Learning Theories: Using the learning theorists we have discussed--Piaget, Vygotsky, Kohlberg, and/or Erikson--Explain the behaviors, actions, learning, etc. that you see in your classroom. For example: A la Vygotsky, you might observe the classroom interactions for evidence of how you or a peer or the teacher provided enough scaffolding to improve a child’s performance. Or, you might describe a child according to Piaget’s stages of intellectual development or Erikson’s Psychosocial development. Be specific and provide examples.

Over the 8 weeks in this class, I was able to learn in full detail unique techniques about the different learning theories. Since every individual learns differently, it is important to gain a understanding on all the different types of learning styles and struggles so that the learning environment can run as smoothly as possible and better insure academic success.

Higgins’ punishments were in the form of endless repetitions of certain phonological features. She was also denied food as a punishment. He also used derision and rude manners with her to mark the

Kimble, (2000) defined behaviorism as any psychology that views its necessity as the understanding of behavior and accepts stimuli (situations and responses). That if behaviorism wants to be a science it must take on some form of that approach aiming at comprehending observable events in the world, and the only such events available to psychology are responses and the situations in which the occur.

This study evaluates the student’s perspective of Problem-Base Learning (PBL) and how a student’s cultural backgrounds impact their learning styles related to self-directed learning. The article evaluation was completed on groups of clinical pediatric nursing students. The method used was combination of quantitative and qualitative methods studies. The authors suggest there is for a strong support system from the academic administrators in order to implement PBL into any curriculum. Based on this article the use of this strategy takes training from the faculty and students.

Through recommendations and evidence-based literature, the capstone projects hopes to initiate Problem-Base-Learning (PBL) within Donnelly Nursing Program Curriculum. As a result of PBL being introduce from the beginning of the program by the educators, the goal is to have every student prepared and capable of critically thinking and problem-solving in order to safety take care of the patients or adverse situations. By introducing educators to the PBL method, educators will have a sound mindset and ability to facilitate each step of this method to their students. Changing their method from traditional lecture-based learning to PBL method is designed to not only help students expand their skill, but change the way educators introduce such a

There is nothing like working hard and being rewarded for it, my father would say to me every day before I left for work to my first job. I was a Ticketing Cashier at a popular tourist attraction where hundreds of thousands would attend every year. This was my first opportunity to earn my own pay check, so I valued every dollar and cent. The highlight of my position was having the opportunity to meet new people from all over the world, and earn incentives for the upselling of tickets and exceeding customer standards.

The readings in module five covered different perspectives on why crime does or does not occur. It covers differential association theory, learning theories, and control theories. Many of these theories play off each other when trying to explain why there is criminal behavior.

Learning is a multifaceted perception unique to each individual. In looking to address the intricacies of learning, there have been a multitude of learning theories established over the centuries. To this day new theories are developed and traditional theories continue to be developed and expanded upon. (Swinburne Online, 2016)

Learning, as defined by Slavin (2012), is “a change in an individual caused by experience” (p. 116). Learning can occur intentionally or unintentionally. All learning, however, is stimulated by something that is the learner (student) has encountered. As an instructor, your goal every day is to use the right stimuli to capture the student’s attention so they can absorb the knowledge you are trying to share.

This essay will compare and contrast three key theories of learning; Behaviourism, Cognitive Learning Theory and Constructivism.

The main responsibility of a nurse is to offer a various range of health care services which includes provision of health education, prevention against disease, promotion of health condition and treatment of acute illness. (as cited in Ling, Bo, Ying, Shao & Hui, 2014) They are expected to perform a wide range of clinical skills for saving patients’ lives and this requires student nurses to have solid foundation in their learnings. The problem-based learning is defined as the learning that develops from the process of working towards the solution of a given problem (as cited in Ling, Bo, Ying, Shao & Hui, 2014) and its learning approach has been the focus in the nursing education for student nurses’ academic curriculum. This essay argues that problem-based learning and self-directed learning help student nurses to develop critical thinking skills and problem solving competency. The essay also explains that both learning approaches develop student nurses to become effective team collaborators with good communication skills, which will make them grown and achieve higher in professional nursing career. Moreover, it describes how problem-based learning aids student nurses to develop their self-directed learning skills and empowers them to adopt to changes in the workplace and health care practices.

I myself have experienced this way of learning in my AP Biology classroom last year.The course was very rigorous and we did not have time to “problem pose”, but rather had to take notes and hope to soak up
