“…Problem-based learning with interdisciplinary educators has been endorsed as a form of palliative care education for pediatric trainees [15]. In a prior study, pediatric residents shared the need for improved training in discussing prognosis, delivering bad news, and managing physical pain as essential areas of foundational knowledge [16]. Communication and symptom management were identified by pediatric residents as key palliative care knowledge needs worthy of special teaching both in lecture format and at the bedside [17].…”

Palliative care competencies at the pediatric resident training level expand learned knowledge into behavior. The objective of this study was to investigate mode of palliative care education delivery preferred by pediatric residents and to report on participatory approach to resident palliative care curriculum design. A one-hour monthly palliative care curriculum was designed and implemented in a participatory manner with 20 pediatric residents at a free-standing Midwestern children’s hospital. Outcome measures included pediatric residents’ personal attitude and perceived training environment receptivity before and after implementation of a palliative care competency-based curriculum. An 18-item survey utilizing Social Cognitive Theory Constructs was administered at baseline and after palliative care curriculum implementation (2017–2018 curricular year). Pediatric residents prioritized real case discussions in group format (16/20) over other learning formats. Topics of highest interest at baseline were: discussing prognosis and delivering bad news (weighted average 12.9), pain control (12.3), goals of care to include code status (11.1), and integrative therapies (10.7). Summary of ordinal responses revealed improvement in self-assessment of personal attitude toward palliative care and training environment receptivity to palliative care domains after year-long curriculum implementation. Curricular approach which is attentive to pediatric residents’ preferred learning format and self-assessment of their behaviors within their care setting environment may be beneficial in competency-based primary palliative training.

“…20 Curricula that do exist tend to utilize confrences, bedside teaching and palliative care consultation as the primary source of education. 20 Existing conferencebased curricula consist of nightly seminars, 17 case-based and problem-based learning, 22,23 and rotating lunch sessions ran by staff experienced in EOL care. 24 Additional innovative modalities for teaching palliative care topics such as utilization of standardized patients [25][26][27][28] or bereaved parents, 29,30 online modules, 31 and longitudinal mentorship curricula 32 have been studied with promising results.…”

“…as a result, they search for new knowledge and ways of using it that are aimed at reinterpretation, specification and problem solving. Different specialists demonstrate different approaches towards the substance of this method [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], though all of them acknowledge the principal benefits of project-based learning. The problem-based method allows students:…”

This article is devoted to technologies of engineering education that produce the most in-demand professional qualities of graduates from Bachelor’s programs. A review of studies about introducing innovations to improve the educational process in practice-oriented Bachelor’s studies is carried out. The advantages and limitations of project-based and problem-based learning technologies are defined. The work presents the experience of developing and applying a unique teaching technology based on the integration of problemand project-based training approaches, designed to enhance the creativity of the study process in engineering Bachelor’s programs. It is described with a focus on the mechanisms for the integrated use of the advantages of methods of problemand project-based training in the formation of the professional competencies required for an engineer’s innovative activity in the development of a new product project. The data from an empirical study have been considered; they allow us to substantiate the conclusion that the integration of projectand problem-based learning in the form of a holistic technology is effective for developing students’ creative capacities.
