Summary

Problem-based learning (PBL) with study teams increased student study time and fostered deeper learning, though it impacted their usual study rhythm. This educational approach encourages active engagement with learning principles.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Collaborative Learning

Background:

  • Problem-based learning (PBL) aims to engage students with psychological learning principles.
  • Students in traditional PBL settings may not consistently apply these principles during group work.
  • A modified PBL approach, PBL with study teams, was introduced to enhance the application of learning principles during self-study periods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare student appreciation and study time between PBL with study teams and traditional PBL.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of study teams in promoting deeper learning and engagement with psychological principles.

Main Methods:

  • An experimental study was conducted over two years, comparing two blocks of learning environments.
  • Data on student appreciation and self-study time were collected using questionnaires.

Main Results:

  • Student appreciation for both PBL formats was similar, with significant individual variation.
  • Appreciation showed a slight increase in the second experiment with less strict collaboration guidelines.
  • Students in the PBL with study teams format dedicated twice as much time to studying compared to the traditional PBL format.

Conclusions:

  • Students reported enjoying the study team format but noted the increased workload disrupted their study habits.
  • Assessment scores and tutor feedback suggest that study teams promote deeper understanding.
  • Further research is needed to confirm if intensive elaboration activities contribute to these deeper learning outcomes.
