Phillip L. Waalkes; Nour Alhiyari; Jason Thompson; Daniel Andrew DeCino – Counselor Education and Supervision, 2024
School counseling graduate programs can fall short of preparing students with authentic and systems-focused skills in classroom instruction. We offer three problem-based learning assignments for counselor educators to help school counselors-in-training develop pedagogical skills and deliver lessons that address authentic problems facing students…

Zhi-ting Liu; Li-jun Tian – SAGE Open, 2024
This study explores how two typical pedagogical modes, namely, problem-based and employment-based pedagogical mode, contribute to the employability of university and college students. Based on analysis of a total sample of 428 undergraduates from Chinese universities and colleges using structural equation modelling, the results show that students'…

Shearman, Sachiyo M. – Communication Teacher, 2023
A service-learning (SL) version of the Intercultural Communication course was designed in collaboration with a nonprofit refugee resettlement agency. Through the collaborative discussions prior to the start of the semester, the instructor and community partner identified the needs and possible ideas for problem-based SL projects. In the SL course,…

Cheryl L. B. Manning; Nicole D. LaDue – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2025
The geological sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (geo-STEM) have the capacity to investigate and address geological and environmental challenges. Many of these challenges (e.g., pollution, flooding, and slope failure) unjustly impact lower socio-economic communities in urban and rural settings where there is limited access to…

Patrick Bijsmans; Jeanine de Bruin; Afke Groen – European Journal of Higher Education, 2025
The transition from high school to university often amounts to a muddled process, making it both an exciting and challenging time for many undergraduate students. Integrating both academically and socially is key in this respect. Social support from peers and teaching staff, but also from family and friends, can have a decisive impact. A learning…

Natacha Souto-Melgar – Chemical Engineering Education, 2025
This paper describes the combination of problem-based learning (PBL) and simulation tools in the chemical engineering unit operation laboratory course, focusing on heat transfer concepts using a shell-and-tube heat exchanger experiment. This approach has significantly enhanced student learning outcomes by bridging theory with practice, fostering a…

Alex Honold – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2025
Problem framing is an essential yet under-explored aspect of problem-based historical inquiry. This study investigated how tenth-grade students in one AP US History class framed an ill-structured historical causal reasoning problem. Data included students' written brainstorms, students' responses to open-ended interview questions, and…

Min Liu; Songhee Han; Peixia Shao; Ying Cai – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
To help young students succeed in problem-based learning (PBL), researchers suggested investigating students' need for cognition (NFC), one's inclination to exert mental effort during learning. How one puts mental effort into a learning task is related to motivation. If motivated, students are more likely to engage in challenging tasks, put in…

Sarah Ferguson; Denise L. Polojac-Chenoweth – Teachers College Press, 2024
Problem-based instruction (PBI) is a research-based, student-centered instructional strategy that uses rich mathematical tasks to connect students' previously acquired math knowledge to new mathematical concepts. Unlike traditional teaching and learning strategies, PBI facilitates learning by making connections between mathematical concepts and…

Giajenthiran Velmurugan – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2024
This paper advocates for the adoption of Nexus Analysis as a robust analytical framework in Problem-Based Learning (PBL) research. Developed by Scollon and Scollon, Nexus Analysis offers a unique lens for examining the intricate dynamics of PBL by seamlessly integrating micro-level interactions with macrolevel societal discourses. The approach…

Roni Reiter-Palmon; Salvatore Leone; Emanuel Schreiner – Creativity Research Journal, 2024
Contradictions and competing demands are common in everyday problems. To address these problems, individuals need to both recognize and integrate these contradictions during problem-solving to find creative solutions. We propose that recognition and integration take place in the problem construction phase of the creative problem-solving process.…
