Project Scope

Research and Exploration of Whether a Problem-Based Approach to Learning Contributes to Critical Thinking Skills in Nursing Students

Andrea is developing and implementing a mixed method evaluation study on problem-based learning among nursing students; her research helps evaluate the success of the pedagogical strategy among a highly diverse student population. Andrea is developing a database of resources on problem-based learning for SF State faculty, and is producing a faculty workshop on the approach.
