I agree with your findings that problem-based learning is learning where students work together
through a scenario or experience to solve a problem. This approach to learning gives students the
will to identify and analyze the kind of information needed to solve a problem (Joseph et al.,
2016). It is true that problem-based learning enables students to learn while engaging actively
with meaningful problems. Through this post, one would learn that students using problem-based
learning are allowed to create mental models for learning, form self-directing learning habits,
and solve the problem in a collaborative setting (Joseph et al., 2016). I agree with your findings
that problem-based learning significantly improves the quality of learning, especially among
students in the nursing profession (Joseph et al., 2016). The approach to learning would also
positively impact trauma patients as problem-based learning is not used as it should in nursing
(Joseph et al., 2016). For instance, problem-based learning could be used for stable trauma
patients but suddenly become hypotensive and tachycardic. It helps to obtain a medical history
and identify possible interventions to stabilize the patient. Problem based learning

Discussion 2
I agree with you that reflective journaling is a teaching strategy that enhances nursing students'
critical thinking and reasoning skills (Ahmed, 2019). Indeed, reflective journaling is often used
during clinical and simulation experiences (Ahmed, 2019). Through your post, I learned that
students use this learning approach to connect and apply information learned in the classroom,
improve future encounters, cultivate personal values, and explore their emotions (Ahmed, 2019).
It is true that grading students based on the reflective journaling approach is somehow challenging. However, grading can be made more objective by using a rubric or DEAL Model.
One of the takeaway lessons from this post is that a reflective journal learning approach help
students to improve their critical thinking and reasoning skills and develop their emotions
(Ahmed, 2019). It is true that the reflective journaling learning approach allows the educator to
identify areas in a student that need to be improved. Integrating reflective journaling and
simulation experience would significantly improve the quality of learning.
