Implementing problem based learning in the didactic curriculum
Journal of optometric education, v 15(4), pp 113-118
Summer 1990
Abstract
Teaching critical thinking and problem solving is considered an important objective for optometric education. One of the teaching alternatives that has been recommended as an effective approach to achieve these goals is problem based learning. Problem based learning, however, has primarily been used in curricula that are entirely problem based or in situations in which there is a very low student-to-faculty ratio. In schools and colleges of optometry, the student-to faculty ratio is generally very high and there currently are no curricula that are entirely problem based. In this article we describe our experience in implementing problem based learning for a large class in a traditional, subject based optometric curriculum.
