The essence of problem-based learning is that a group of eight to ten students decide for themselves what they need to study after discussing some trigger material, such as a written problem. After a few days of self-study, they meet to share, compare and relate what they have found to the original trigger material, and to see if they have covered enough ground.

The essence of problem-based learning is that a group of eight to ten students decide for themselves what they need to study after discussing some trigger material, such as a written problem. After a few days of self-study, they meet to share, compare and relate what they have found to the original trigger material, and to see if they have covered enough ground. This "how-to" guide is intended for students, teachers and those still at school who are trying to decide whether to choose a medical school that uses problem-based learning or one that sticks to a more traditional approach to medical education. The authors address: what problem-based learning is and how it works; how it fits in with what we know about how adults learn; how to design problems and trigger material; how a tutorial group works; and how self-assessment, peer assessment and tutor assessment are undertaken. Students will find practical advice such as how to make the transition from a traditional school education to a much more self-directed kind of activity. The book also contains practical advice for teachers, who have the job of helping students adapt and cope with the culture shock of no longer being told what to do. The book concludes with chapters on serious pitfalls and a brief discussion of what problem-based learning can be expected to achieve.
