Problem- and Case-Based Learning in Science: An Introduction to Distinctions, Values, and Outcomes

Problem-based learning and case-based learning embrace a wide range of overlapping but independent instructional strategies. Being aware of the variants, their values and learning outcomes allows informed and effective instructional design.
