Emerging roles for the Librarian in Problem Based Learning

چکیده
The collaboration of faculty and library in Problem Based Learning (PBL) has led to an abundance of studies in the medical and health sciences. This article reports on the emerging roles of librarians in studies on PBL implementation during the past 10 years. The initial analysis revealed studies which focussed on the effects of PBL on library usage. However the trend has since evolved to studies on the involvement of librarians in building and implementing the PBL curricula. The aim of this article is to summarize the main findings of these research. This would provide directions for policy makers and PBL practitioners. Librarians may also find new chalenging roles for themselves within the academia. The studies included in the review were selected by conducting a literature search within identified online databases and selection was done based on empirical studies on PBL in higher learning. The outcomes reveal that there are many noteworthy efforts describing faculty-librarian involvement in PBL implementation in higher learning. It is concluded that a framework be proposed for the role of the librarian in the implementation of PBL. Keyword: PBL, Librarian

Many algorithms in machine learning, pattern recognition, and data mining are based on a similarity/distance measure. For example, the kNN classifier and clustering algorithms such as k-means require a similarity/distance function. Also, in Content-Based Information Retrieval (CBIR) systems, we need to rank the retrieved objects based on the similarity to the query. As generic measures such as ...

متن کاملRiding the Active Learning Wave: Using Problem-Based Learning as a Catalyst for Creating Faculty-Librarian Partnerships
With higher education shifting its emphasis from teaching to learning and inputs to outcomes, active learning techniques are gaining prominence. Research has shown that students learn better when they actively engage the course content, rather than passively absorb lecture material. However, many faculty are unsure of how to take advantage of these new techniques to improve the learning outcome...
