Direct linkSaleh, Asmalina; Phillips, Tanner M.; Hmelo-Silver, Cindy E.; Glazewski, Krista D.; Mott, Bradford W.; Lester, James C. – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2022
This exploratory paper highlights how problem-based learning (PBL) provided the pedagogical framework used to design and interpret learning analytics from "Crystal Island: EcoJourneys," a collaborative game-based learning environment centred on supporting science inquiry. In "Crystal Island: EcoJourneys," students work in teams…

Saleh, Asmalina; Shanahan, Katherine; Chen, Yuxin; Georgen, Chris; Hmelo-Silver, Cindy E.; Glazewski, Krista D.; Lester, James – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2018
To support our understanding of how we might support the use of modeling in PBL activities for classroom use, this study explores how to scaffold collaborative scientific modeling activities. It draws on prior work with scientific modeling centered on the use of the Component-Mechanism-Phenomenon (CMP) conceptual framework (Hmelo-Silver et al.,…

Saleh, Asmalina; Yuxin, Chen; Hmelo-Silver, Cindy E.; Glazewski, Krista D.; Mott, Bradford W.; Lester, James C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
Collaborative inquiry learning affords educators a context within which to support understanding of scientific practices, disciplinary core ideas, and crosscutting concepts. One approach to supporting collaborative science inquiry is through problem-based learning (PBL). However, there are two key challenges in scaffolding collaborative inquiry…

This study examined the types of learning behaviors students demonstrated while performing inquiry tasks. It also explored the relationship between the learning behaviors and students' domain knowledge. We observed fourteen students in five groups during a ninth-grade biology course. Three types of learning behaviors (inquiry, collaborative, and…

Belland, Brian R.; Glazewski, Krista D.; Richardson, Jennifer C. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2011
Students engaged in problem-based learning (PBL) units solve ill-structured problems in small groups, and then present arguments in support of their solution. However, middle school students often struggle developing evidence-based arguments (Krajcik et al., "J Learn Sci" 7:313-350, 1998). Using a mixed method design, the researchers examined the…

The literature on the use of problem-based learning in K-12 settings has traditionally focused on gifted and average students. However, mainstreaming is placing increasing numbers of students with special needs in general education classrooms. This case study examined how members of a small group in a mainstreamed seventh grade science class…

Ertmer, Peggy A.; Glazewski, Krista D.; Jones, Donna; Ottenbreit-Leftwich, Anne; Goktas, Yuksel; Collins, Kelly; Kocaman, Aslihan – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2009
Despite the challenges inherent in adopting problem-based learning (PBL) in the middle school classroom, successful PBL teachers are able to find suitable solutions. In this exploratory study we examined the perceptions and practices of five successful middle school PBL teachers regarding the specific difficulties encountered with PBL and the…

Belland, Brian R.; Glazewski, Krista D.; Richardson, Jennifer C. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2008
Problem-based learning (PBL) is an instructional approach in which students in small groups engage in an authentic, ill-structured problem, and must (1) define, generate and pursue learning issues to understand the problem, (2) develop a possible solution, (3) provide evidence to support their solution, and (4) present their solution and the…
