A variety of learning methods will be utilised in the delivery of this module. These will include case studies, role-play, game play, lectures, tutorials, discussion, student presentations, posters and self-directed learning.
A problem will be given to the students by the tutor. The students will meet together as small groups to discuss the problem. They will initially explore the problem using their own experiences and knowledge. Then comes analysis, hypotheses testing and information gathering which is required to solve the problem. In PBL, the learning process becomes the focus and students gain a sense of the whole of the PBL experience.
With this learning strategy students will:
Experience problem-based learning as a learner from within a problematic situation;
Appreciate the inter-connectedness of the issues within the problem and all its complexity;
Engage in cycles of inquiry, reflection and question generation;
Explore a number of information sources, opening up multiple ways of knowing.
