Jensen de López, Kristine M.; Knudsen, Hanne B. Søndergaard – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2021
Problem-based learning (PBL) involves using problems as a starting point of learning rather than relying on traditional learning settings. In the present paper we present the theoretical framework behind a specific PBL setting we have developed since 2012 for training Danish psychologist students in a small university children's clinic…

Bettina Dahl; Hans Hüttel; Jakob Gulddahl Rasmussen; Morten Grud Rasmussen – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2023
Many universities throughout the world apply student-centered approaches. Common to these is that projects, problems, challenges etc. stem from "real life". Mathematics is an effective tool to solve problems, but in this paper, we discuss how we reconcile the fact that mathematics is both a pure and an applied discipline with…

Davidsen, Jacob; Andersen, Pernille Viktoria Kathja; Christiansen, Ellen – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2019
In this study, we present an educational design experiment seeking to promote interaction and knowledge sharing in groups and to establish a sense of community among students during a semester at Aalborg University, Denmark. The experiment is materialised as a tangible artefact in the form of a colourful box with materials and texts. Some of the…

Camacho, Heilyn; Skov, Mette; Svarre, Tanja; Ryberg, Thomas – Design and Technology Education, 2018
Governments, public sector institutions and organisations have started releasing and sharing information in the format of open data (OD). The opportunities to create and innovate with OD will continue to grow, and there is an expectation that educational institutions will produce competitive graduates with OD skills. A key question arising from…

Nielsen, Rudi P.; Sørensen, Jens L.; Simonsen, Morten E.; Madsen, Henrik T.; Muff, Jens; Strandgaard, Morten; Søgaard, Erik G. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
Chemical engineering is mostly taught using traditional classroom teaching and laboratory experiments when possible. Being a wide discipline encompassing topics such as analytical chemistry, process design, and microbiology, it may be argued that brewing of beer has many relations to chemical engineering topic-wise. This work illustrates how…

Sørensen, Marie Jull – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2017
Changing learning objectives was the beginning of rethinking the pedagogical frame of my courses within a traditional law study program. The objectives were changed in order to aim for students becoming better at reflecting on the curriculum. I chose to work within a workshop frame incorporating some of the Aalborg PBL principles. The two courses…

Larsen, Lasse Juel; Majgaard, Gunver – Designs for Learning, 2016
This article considers game design research in educational settings. Its focus is on how undergraduate students -- particularly engineering students -- learn computer game design. From observations conducted during our game design courses we have developed a model of expanded game design space. It encapsulates the entire development process from…

Iversen, Ann-Merete; Pedersen, Anni Stavnskaer; Krogh, Lone; Jensen, Annie Aarup – SAGE Open, 2015
The article introduces a new term in higher education: learner-led approaches in education (LED). This does not represent a single approach or dogma to replace existing dogmas, but a way of approaching learning and education that mirrors the complexity of society as it develops. LED is based on the assumption that all students have their own…

Larsen, Peter Gorm; Fernandes, Joao M.; Habel, Jacek; Lehrskov, Hanne; Vos, Richard J. C.; Wallington, Oliver; Zidek, Jan – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2009
Most university-level engineering studies produce technically skilled engineers. However, typically students face several difficulties when working in multidisciplinary teams when they initiate their industrial careers. In a globalised world, it becomes increasingly important that engineers are capable of collaborating across disciplinary…

Buus, Lillian – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2012
At Aalborg University (AAU) we are known to work with problem-based learning (PBL) in a particular way designated "The Aalborg PBL model." In PBL the focus is on participant control, knowledge sharing, collaboration among participants, which makes it interesting to consider the integration of social media in the learning that takes…
