The Implementation of Case-Based Learning - Shaping the Pedagogy in Ambulance Education

Abstract

The clinical units in the second and third years of the BEH-P are taught using the casebased learning (CBL) paradigm. This paper (the first in a series) will describe the background theory of CBL and discuss the implementation of a CBL paradigm in the BEH-P degree. A background of problem-based learning (PBL) will also be addressed, since it is considered the educational ‘grandfather’ of this type of instructional ideology, with CBL is one such pedagogical hybrid.
