Review: "This book describes the theoretical foundations of problem-based learning and is a practical source of staff wanting to implement it. The book is designed as a text that not only explores the foundations of problem-based learning but also answers many of the frequently asked questions about its use. It has also been designed to develop the reader's understanding beyond implementation, including issues such as academic development, cultural diversity, assessment, evaluation and curricular models of problem-based learning." "Foundations of Problem-based Learning is a vital resource for lecturers in all disciplines who want to understand problem-based learning and implement it effectively in their teaching."--BOOK JACKET.
