“…With successes in medical education, PBL emerged in other professional education programs including nursing, architecture, engineering, advertising, physical therapy, and business administration (Barrows, 1996;Gould & Sadera, 2015;Quinn & Albano, 2008;Rideout & Carpio, 2001;Zubaidah, 2005). The move of PBL into K-12 education necessitated a broader view from foci on clinical skills or problemsolving for a single profession to K-12 experiences designed to prepare learners for many possibilities in life (Delisle, 1997;Edwards & Hammer, 2007;Marle et al, 2012;Torp & Sage, 2002). To understand the effects of PBL on measures of student science and mathematics learning in K-8 settings, a team at our center conducted a systematic review of the literature on control group studies with PBL as the independent variable (Merritt, Lee, Rillero, & Kinach, 2016).…”
