The traditional ‘coverage’ model of learning threatens to become more and more inefficient and impractical, as the sheer size of the ‘body of knowledge’ needing to be absorbed necessitates a different style of learning.
Contemporary learning methods will place increasing emphasis on collective work, knowledge-sharing and communication, as well as on refining analytic thought and decision-making processes.
In the first module of this series, Learner-centred teaching: Part 1, we looked at modifying current methods of both teaching and learning to suit learner-centred approaches.
In this module, we will discuss an alternative teaching-learning process: problem-based learning. This process, with its innate constructivist character, is of particular importance to the holistic approach in psychiatry training and practice.
