Overcoming problems in problem‐based learning: a trial of strategies in an undergraduate unit (2008, background): “Learning occurs through small group interactions with a facilitator, not through lectures (Boud & Feletti, 1997 ; Bridges & Hallinger, 1998 ; Dochy, Segers, Van den Bossche, & Gijbels, 2003 ; Savin‐Baden, 2000 ; Solomon et al, 1996 ).”
Using Assessment to Support Student Learning (2010, background): “Comparisons of ‘problem-based’ and conventional courses, in a variety of subject areas, tend to show marked differences in the extent to which students take a deep approach (see Dochy et al (2003) for a review).”
New Learning Environments and Constructivism: The Students’ Perspective (2006, background): “Moreover, constructivism is the underlying theory referred to when the superior effects of PBL are postulated (Dochy et al., 2003).”
Academic and social integration and study progress in problem based learning (2009, methodology): “From an extensive body of research on the effects of PBL (e.g., Dochy et al. 2003) we know that PBL stimulates students, more than conventional programs, to develop their cognitive skills.”
Incorporating Problem-Based Learning Strategies to Develop Learner Autonomy and Employability Skills in Sports Science Undergraduates (2008, background): “Dochy et al. (2003) and Newman (2003) reviewed existing literature to identify the effects of PBL.”
Protective Factors at School: Reciprocal Effects Among Adolescents’ Perceptions of the School Environment, Engagement in Learning, and Hope (2011, background): “Problem- or project-based learning attempts to engage students more deeply in the learning process by providing them the opportunity make choices and more actively regulate their own learning while working on real-life problems (Blumenfeld et al. 1991) and has been found to promote academic skills a”
Engaging students in learning: findings from a study of project-led education (2014, background): “Nevertheless, learning strategies like problem and project-based learning (PBL) and other cooperative learning strategies (Dochy et al. 2003; Prince 2004) have been considered ‘pedagogies of engagement’ (Smith et al. 2005) because they require students to be actively involved in learning as they…”

Problem-Based Learning is Compatible with Human Cognitive Architecture: Commentary on Kirschner, Sweller, and Clark (2006) (2007, background): “Although the exact implementation of these elements may differ between curricula (Lloyd-Jones et al., 1998), which, as Dochy et al. (2003) point out, is the case with every instructional approach (e.g., there is not a single form of “conventional” lecture-based curricula), these elements can be and…”
