Synopsis
Problem Based Learning for Learners: A Primer is an interesting and unique new text written with the occupational therapist in mind. Following the PBL process, the scenario for exploration is established by using "problem-based learning". Developed from the perspective of a learner resource, over 30 years of experience within a problem-based learning environment is brought to the pages of this comprehensive text, from the author. While it is necessary to understand the process of problem-based learning, "doing" is the main focus of teaching in this text. Inside the different steps taken in the PBL process are covered, such as articuiating the problem, deciding what is already known, brainstorming ideas, defining a learning plan, researching, synthesizing the knowledge learned, and re-defining further learning needs.

About the Author
Over the past three decades, since emigrating to Canada from Britain, Sue Baptiste has significantly influenced Canadian occupational therapy through her unique and innovative approaches to practice, leadership, education, and research. Her work as leader of a large occupational therapy program through the 1970s and 80s led to the development of organizational models integrating practice, student education, and clinical research. The growth of many occupational therapists in Canada has been fostered through Sue’s mentorship and enthusiastic support of excellence. An internationally renowned leader in problem-based education, Sue has facilitated the development of problem-based, self-directed learning across many disciplines. Her abiding interest in issues of culture and organizational change characterize her research.
Sue is an author of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, an outcome measure used throughout the world. Sue has an unequalled ability to challenge long held assumptions (with humour) while positively facilitating change to ensure excellence in occupational therapy.
