In the current conceptualisations of Problem Based Learning and how we practice it, the students are expected to possess the necessary academic competencies in order to study through PBL. However, a desk research reveals that students in many cases don't have the necessary understanding or conceptual comprehension of disciplines such as problem…

Ethnicity is one of the critical factors in achieving learning outcomes. A specific learning model is needed to overcome the learning process with multi-ethnic students. Quasi-experimental research was carried out with four majoring ethnicities, i.e., Javanese, Banjar, Kutai and Buginese, in senior high school with class XI majoring in natural…

Contribution: This article adds to the results of previous systematic mapping study by addressing a more ample context of problem-based learning (PBL) in computing education. Background: PBL is defined as an instructional method of constructivist teaching that uses real problems as a motivating element for learning. Although PBL was born in…

This research paper presents the outcomes of a change in the teaching and learning practices from a traditional lecture-based method to a Problem Based Learning (PBL) curriculum in the undergraduate Logistics & Transportation (L&T) course at the Federal University of Itajubá (UNIFEI), Brazil. Detailed PBL practices adoption and the…

Purpose: One of the major challenges in practicing family medicine residents (FMRs) is the choice of an appropriate pattern in training health centers (THCs) to provide high-quality health services to patients. This study aimed to design an efficient residency training model in Iranian healthcare centers. Design/methodology/approach: A four-phase…

This SoTL study aimed to determine thirty-eight teacher candidates' self-efficacy after experiencing semester one of a yearlong residency. Researchers used a pre/post survey, the Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES), and a retrospective pre TSES to determine perceived levels of self-efficacy in three areas: classroom management, instructional…

This study aims to examine preferences of teachers for curriculum design approaches in terms of various variables.

The purposes of the current study include: (1) to examine the effect of integrated problem-based learning and Think-Pair-Share technique on the development of grade 8 students' analytical thinking; and (2) to examine the effect of integrated problem-based learning and Think-Pair-Share technique on the development of grade 8 students' science…

Problem-Based Learning (or PBL) is a teaching style that pairs beautifully with science and social studies. PBL allows students to drive their learning, providing autonomy to choose topics or issues that interest them. It scaffolds the development of desirable 21st century skills: collaboration, critical thinking, communication, creativity,…

This study aimed at analyzing the impact of problem-based learning (PBL) in improving physics students' conceptual understanding of mechanical waves. This study used a quasiexperimental, pretest-post-test control group design with PBL instruction as a teaching intervention. The participants of this study were 239 physics students from 19 secondary…

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) has been relied upon in business and related disciplines, such as sport management to connect pedagogy with the need for students to apply their knowledge in real-word situations (Decker-Lange, 2018; Delaney et al., 2017; Sherwood, 2004). Todd et al. (2014) have noted that sport management students often have existing…

Transforming curriculum by implementing Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in the college-level classroom helps students internalize the concepts of a course, improve their critical and reflective thinking skills, learn to problem-solve using questioning, and ultimately construct a better understanding of course concepts in a personally relevant way.…

The study explored the viewpoints of two groups of mentors -- subject and pedagogy -- on their roles in a 12-month problem-based learning (PBL) academic development program at a Danish university. Q methodology analysis from 49 mentors revealed consensus on certain generic characteristics of good mentorship, namely active listening, constructive…

In this study, empirical research was conducted in the field of civic and moral education using a real problem-oriented learning methodology. The effectiveness of the methodology in enhancing students' civic awareness and moral behavior was assessed through a randomized controlled trial (RCT). The study combined quantitative and qualitative…

This study aimed to develop a maker spirit problem-based learning (PBL) innovation and entrepreneurship course and explore its impact on students' learning effectiveness. A mixed research method was adopted for this study, in which qualitative and quantitative data were collected for inductive analysis. The research subjects comprised 49 students…
