Effectiveness of Challenge‐Based Instruction in Biomechanics (2006, background): “Many of the negative effects can be attributed to the use of nonexpert tutors, and to self-paced and self-directed learning [14].”
Promoting Skills for Innovation in Higher Education: A Literature Review on the Effectiveness of Problem-based Learning and of Teaching Behaviours (2014, background): “While PBL students may be slightly inferior to traditional students in overall knowledge and competence, they appear to be superior in long-term recall and retention (Norman and Schmidt, 2000; Schmidt and Moust, 2000).”
Project-Based Learning in Post-Secondary Education – Theory, Practice and Rubber Sling Shots (2006, background): “On measures of student satisfaction, there is a consistent benefit of PBL (Norman and Schmidt 2000).”
Problem-Based Learning is Compatible with Human Cognitive Architecture: Commentary on Kirschner, Sweller, and Clark (2006) (2007, background): “Norman and Schmidt (2000), for instance, argue that comparisons between instructional interventions at the curriculum level are doomed to fail because randomization of students over the treatment conditions is almost always impossible, and, since medical students are highly selected in terms of…”
Advancing the Science of Collaborative Problem Solving (2018, background): “…that small-group learning was related to academic achievement on some measures of learning compared with more conventional learning environments (Norman & Schmidt, 2000) and that group debate was a feature that improved the development of shared knowledge and problem solving (Hmelo-Silver,…”
Perspectives into learning at the workplace (2008, background): “Problem-based learning (PBL) is a curriculum development and instructional approach that applies problematic situations adapted from real world issues as a starting point for learning and studying (see, e.g. Albanese & Mitchell, 1993; Boud & Feletti, 1991; Norman & Schmidt, 2000).”
What's So Good About Problem-Based Learning? (2004, background): “In a response to Colliver’s review, Norman and Schmidt (2000) suggested the need to remain focused for now on basic research that allows for systematic examination of the multiple variables involved in naturalistic studies.”
The effect of the learning environment on competences and training for the workplace according to graduates (2007, background): “From the literature, one would expect PBL to have a positive effect on competences such as self-directed learning, learning to learn, and learning ability (Barrows 1996; Norman and Schmidt 2000).”
Problem-based learning and self-efficacy: How a capstone course prepares students for a profession (2005, result): “Some researchers have raised concerns that comparative research on the effects of PBL has not presented conclusive results on gains in expertise as compared to more conventional approaches (e.g., Hmelo, Gotterer, & Bransford, 1997; Norman & Schmidt, 2000 ).”
Enquiry-Based Learning: perspectives on practice (2009, background): “Norman and Schmidt ( 2000 , 725) note of PBL that, ‘the little acronym covers a multitude of sins.”
