Luiz Ney d’Escoffier; Aida Guerra; Marco Braga – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2024
Education for sustainability demands transformative knowledge, which can be obtained through problem-based, project-organized learning (PBL). However, the integration of PBL and sustainability in higher education has not yet met the needs required due to the lack of application of a systemic perspective and strategy. In this literature review, we…

John Mitchell; Emanuela Tilley – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2024
This paper will present the argument that while Problem Based Learning (PBL) (or its variant Project Based Learning, PjBL) provides significant benefits and advantages to student learning in of itself, the full benefit of PBL is only completely realised as part of an "integrated" curriculum that provides a variety of learning…

Velmurugan, Giajenthiran; Stentoft, Diana; Davidsen, Jacob – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2021
An essential part of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is the students' group work. What happens in students' group work when no tutor/facilitator is present is normally a hidden land. Thus, there is limited research on students' interactional way of doing PBL, this study tries to amend this by looking at how students conduct group work without any…

Jaeger, Martin; Yu, Gang; Adair, Desmond – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2020
The perspectives on Project Based Learning (PBL), traditional learning and engineering competencies are influenced by national and organizational culture. Based on Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory and grounded in constructivist learning theory, the purpose of this study is to identify the perspectives of Arab and Chinese managers on the…

Liso, Vincenzo – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2020
The organization of knowledge influences how effectively students learn, so that if the information is well structured and the knowledge acquisition process is carried out in a systemic way, one can more effectively retrieve pieces of knowledge. To tackle this problem a common document format used in academia, IMRaD (Introduction, Method, Results,…
