Bridging the Gap between Education and Employment: A Case Study of Problem-Based Learning Implementation in Postgraduate Sport and Exercise Psychology
Heaviside, Helen J.; Manley, Andrew J.; Hudson, Joanne
Higher Education Pedagogies, v3 n1 p463-477 2018
The purpose of this case study was to explore Postgraduate Sport and Exercise Psychology students' and their lecturer's experiences of PBL, and, its role in developing their employability skills. A focus group was conducted with four students (Mage = 22.75 years, SD = 0.96 years; n female = 2) and a conversational interview was conducted with the lecturer (age = 37 years, teaching experience = 11 years). Inductive thematic analysis of verbatim transcripts was used as a basis for developing portrait and composite vignettes to illustrate their experiences. Their underpinning themes suggested that PBL was instrumental for developing key employability skills: team working, communication and interpersonal sensitivity; thinking critically, creatively and flexibly; for helping students translate academic knowledge into application in future employment contexts, and for increasing awareness that learning is a lifelong developmental process.
