TheoreticalFoundation
Problem-Based Learning can be thought of as a
combination of cognitive and social constructivist theories
that were developed by Piaget and Vygotsky.
Problem-Based Learning and the Models that go along with
it (PBL) were introduced not only by those two theorists
but was also improved by Howard Burrows, an American
physician and medical educator, in the late 60s within the
framework of the medical program at McMaster University
in Canada.
