Description

Case-Based Collaborative Learning is described as combining "principles of team-based learning, problem-based learning, and case-based learning through structured preparation and collaborative discussion of clinical cases." The article adopts the model described by Besche et al., which organizes the experience into "three interconnected axes: instructional design, facilitation, and professional transformation," with success depending on coherence between prior preparation, case complexity, teacher mediation, and post-class consolidation. CBCL is presented as reorganizing the roles of student, teacher, and clinical case rather than being merely a technique.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Coherence between prior preparation, appropriate case complexity, teacher mediation, and post-class consolidation
  • Adequately prepared facilitators and calibrated case complexity

Constraints

  • Much of the CBCL literature is limited by single-center experiences, heterogeneous implementation models, and predominance of subjective outcomes

Target Learners

  • Medical undergraduates
  • Residents in radiology and other specialties

Learning Goals

  • Vertical integration of basic and clinical knowledge
  • Engagement and collaborative reasoning
  • Self-regulated learning

Claims

  • Collaborative Learning
  • Problem Based Learning
