Essay Instructions: I need a literature review for a dissertation paper. The topic is “Problem Based Learning (PBL) as a teaching method versus the Traditional Teaching Method in Respiratory Therapy Education”
The literature review should be 7 pages long with paying attention to the references which should be related to the topic and from articles in peer reviewed journals such as the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Annals of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, Anesthesiology, Chest, Clinical Pulmonary Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, European Respiratory Journal, Intensive care Medicine, Journal of Aerosol Medicine, Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Journal of Asthma, Journal of Respiratory Disease, Pediatric Pulmonology, Respiratory Care, Respiratory Care Clinics of North America, Thorax, New England Journal of Medicine, and AARC Times, etc, but not from books nor magazines please. Moreover, the literature review should contain a) A well-defined introduction, problem statement, purpose, research question/hypothesis, significance
b) A well-organized body of the literature review. c) A clearly stated conclusion that addresses the problem and flows logically from the body of the review. d) The paper should be written according to APA guidelines (6th edition).
The literature review should begin with PBL in general, then the use of PBL in medicine education, the use of PBL in nursing education, and finally the use of PBL in Respiratory therapy education. Please go in depth with the studies and discuss them in details and their conclusions. More so, please list the studies that support the use of PBL and the studies that do not support it. (and by the way there are about 5-6 studies in the use of PBL in respiratory therapy education, these studies are done by: Beachey, W. D. (2007). A comparison of problem-based learning and traditional curricula in baccalaureate respiratory therapy education. Respiratory Care, 52(11), 1497-1506.
