Problem-based learning (PBL) can be effectively delivered in a distance learning format for undergraduate nursing programs. This study demonstrates that PBL benefits students even when not in a traditional campus setting.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Distance Learning
  • Pedagogy

Background:

  • Problem-based learning (PBL) is traditionally campus-based, involving small groups over extended periods.
  • Its suitability for distance learning, especially in accommodating diverse study problems, is theoretically questionable.
  • This study addresses the challenge of adapting PBL for remote educational contexts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically examine a distance learning initiative testing PBL delivery.
  • To assess the benefits of PBL for undergraduate nursing students in a distance learning mode.
  • To explore the adaptation of PBL for non-traditional educational settings.

Main Methods:

  • Critical examination of a specific distance learning initiative.
  • Analysis of materials designed for distance-based PBL.

  • Evaluation of student benefit in an undergraduate nursing program.

    • Main Results:

    • The study investigates the feasibility and effectiveness of PBL in distance education.
    • It assesses how distance learning materials can support the PBL process.
    • Findings relate to student outcomes in a post-registration nursing program.

    Conclusions:

    • Problem-based learning can be successfully implemented in distance learning for nursing education.
    • Distance learning initiatives can be designed to accommodate PBL principles effectively.
    • PBL in a distance format offers benefits to undergraduate nursing students.
