Preclinical students’ predispositions towards social forms of instruction and self-directed learning: a challenge for the development of autonomous and collaborative learners (2009, background): “Boud and Feletti 1997; Wilkerson and Gijselaers 1996) and case-based learning (e.g. Lundeberg et al. 1999; Blumberg 2000) are particularly attractive in professional programmes because they foster students' engagement in self-directed learning in a context that is directly relevant to their future p”
Self-Directed Learning in Problem-Based Learning and its Relationships with Self-Regulated Learning (2008, methodology): “For example, a review study by Blumberg (2000) examined whether PBL students are self-directed learners.”
Inductive Teaching and Learning Methods: Definitions, Comparisons, and Research Bases (2006, background): “PBL has also been shown to promote selfdirected learning [71] and the adoption of a deep (meaningoriented) approach to learning, as opposed to a superficial (memorization-based) approach [21, 46, 72].”
What's So Good About Problem-Based Learning? (2004, background): “The latter has been the norm in research in this area, with investigators typically seeking to show that students who experience an extended problem-based curriculum exhibit to a greater degree than a control group individual characteristics such as self-monitoring, self-regulation, planning, a posi”
