Similitudes entre el Proceso de Convergencia en el ámbito de la Educación Superior Europea y la adopción del Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas en la E.U.I. Vall d'Hebron de Barcelona

The School of Nursing in Vall d'Hebron in Barcelona changed its whole curriculum to be problem-based, student-centered and to include small group learning (PBL). This experience provided elements of reflection in the two axes of university training aimed at Europe: one being the adoption of a new educational paradigm and another being the redefinition of the role of the agents of the educational process, the teachers and the students. PBL is congruent with the educational paradigm of European convergence since, 1: is it student-centered learning and contemplates the total work of the students in their learning and not only the hours of classes given by the teacher; 2: the role of the teacher changes from transmitter of knowledge to educational professional who facilitates and guides the student's learning process; 3: being diagnostic, evaluation becomes a key point in the formative aspects of the learning process.
