Project-based learning as a contributing factor to graduates’ work readiness (2012, background): “PBL has been widely adopted in medical education because it allows students to acquire not only content knowledge but also knowledge of and practice in the professional behaviour of a physician (Perrenet et al. 2000).”
Theory to reality: a few issues in implementing problem-based learning (2011, background): “…could undermine the effectiveness of PBL in students’ activation of prior knowledge and their group processing (Gijselaers and Schmidt 1990; Perrenet et al. 2000), cause difficulty in generating learning issues that the problems are designed to cover (Dolmans et al. 1993), and affect…”

How to Enhance Interdisciplinary Competence—Interdisciplinary Problem-Based Learning versus Interdisciplinary Project-Based Learning (2017, background): “…goal by emphasizing students’ independence, selfdirection, inquiry, and collaboration, providing an authentic application of content and skills, and focusing on openended questions, while aiming for a development of twentyfirst century skills (Larmer, 2014; Perrenet et al., 2000; Savery, 2006).”
