Question

problem-based method is an example of teaching strategy.

as much as possible the situation/example must be related to health, medicine, nursing or nutrition.

Answer 1

The most common application of problem based teaching strategies in the health educations is case study analysis. In this strategy, the teacher teaches students steps in case management and a set of parameters to be used to analyze and prescribe a problem. For instance, the parameters may be: Describe the pertinent elements of the case, identify the problem, identify 3 possible strategies for resolution of the problem (and site research for selection), identify possible vectors that would impact each resolution, describe possible outcomes to each strategy and how the outcomes could be measured, identify future actions for on-going case intervention for each outcome. Of course, these are generic and can be tailored to the course under study. Then the students are 1. given a "real-life" case by the teacher or (even better) 2. generate a case from their work/life experiences and get it approved for analysis. Students work individually or in small groups, then share cases and discussion of findings across their groups. This can be all simulation or strategies can be tried in the field, depending on the nature of the case and the degree of human subject participation limitation/ethical concern.
