Problem-Based Learning

Barrows, H. S. (1994), Practice-Based Learning: Problem-Based Learning Applied to Medical Education. Springfield, Ill: Southern Illinois University
 Barrows book is a classic in the problem-based learning literature. There are many species of problem-based learning today that have evolved from early forms of the method. Barrows’ book clearly and readably presents the basic model and addresses the major issues. This very readable book is an excellent starting point for an introduction to PBL.
