Problem-based learning (PBL) has been systematized for over forty years. However, there is still a lack of studies that seek to visualize the evolution of scientific literature on the subject. This paper seeks to fill this gap through the development of a bibliometric analysis by carrying out a data search on the Web of Science™ database and subsequently transferring the acquired data for treatment to the VantagePoint © software package. The data indicate that research on PBL shows a strong progression since the end of the twentieth century, with a high volume of the most impacting studies being carried out by a group of researchers who are currently linked to or used to be connected to the Maastricht University. As a result of these studies, a geographical (from North America and Europe to Asia) and academic (from research in medical education to other biomedical and engineering areas) spread of scientific production regarding this teaching methodology has arisen.
No âmbito da formação profissionalizante, as características da aprendizagem baseada em problemas (ABP) propiciam uma maior aproximação dos alunos da prática profissional. Este artigo apresenta uma proposta curricular inovadora para a formação de técnicos em laboratórios de saúde pública, fundamentada na ABP. A lógica da estrutura curricular apoia-se em dois eixos estruturantes: 1) as principais tecnologias utilizadas nos laboratórios de saúde pública, tais como a microscopia, a volumetria, a espectrofotometria, a cromatografia e a eletroforese; e 2) as principais matrizes utilizadas nos laboratórios, tais como a água, os alimentos, a urina, as fezes e o sangue. Com esta proposta, busca-se fomentar discussões acerca da implantação de currículos e de estratégias de ensino que possam contribuir para melhorar o ensino profissionalizante no Brasil, assim como promover a formação de técnicos capazes de atuarem nos laboratórios que compõem o Sistema Nacional de Laboratórios de Saúde Pública (SISLAB).
In problem-based learning (PBL), the steps and processes present in the PBL tutorial cycle are essential for constructive, self-directed, collaborative, and contextual student learning. This article presents a procedural study of a PBL tutorial cycle with high school students new to the method regarding human respiration and circulation physiology. We observed group dynamics and the learning process that occurred throughout the PBL tutorial cycle. The results indicate that conceptual changes were close to the planned learning objectives and that students enjoyed studying applying PBL. Moreover, a positive correlation was observed between group dynamics, self-directed learning and learning outcomes. Our results provide grounds for restructuring the tutorial cycle, especially important for novice PBL students, such as problem reformulation and the development and diversification of applied learning scaffolds. We conclude that the qualitative analysis performed herein can yield a deeper understanding of the PBL tutorial cycle and may be used to foster PBL implementation in institutions with little experience with the method and monitor its outcomes in organizations with mature PBL use.
