Summary
Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a learner-centered approach that bridges the theory-practice gap in professional education. This paper explores PBL
Area of Science:
- Education
- Pedagogy
- Speech-Language Pathology (SLP)
Background:
- Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a learner-centered pedagogy.
- It emphasizes knowledge as socially constructed and aims to bridge the theory-practice gap in professional education.
- PBL is increasingly relevant in Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) curricula.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the philosophical underpinnings of PBL.
- To review research on PBL in SLP curricula.
- To provide practical suggestions for implementing PBL in tertiary SLP education.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of PBL.
- Analysis of PBL's philosophical foundations.
- Case study of PBL implementation in an SLP curriculum at University College Cork.
Main Results:
- PBL's theoretical basis is explored.
- Research on PBL in SLP is examined.
- Practical strategies for PBL integration in SLP programs are suggested.
Conclusions:
- PBL offers a viable framework for SLP education.
- Its implementation requires careful consideration of philosophical and practical aspects.
- Further research can refine PBL application in SLP.

01:25Learning Disabilities
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

01:22Purposive Learning
E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a bonus...
01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

01:21Cognitive Learning
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

01:29Problem-Solving
Effective problem-solving consists of two steps: 1. identifying the problem and 2. selecting the appropriate problem-solving strategy (i.e., a plan of action used to find a solution). Humans use four problem-solving strategies:
01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about insulin...
