Müller, Tanja; Henning, Thomas – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2017
In this paper, we provide insight into the PBL project called PoLiMINT (Problem-oriented Learning in MINT). The project is located at the Bremen University of Applied Sciences and aims to introduce and foster PBL in the introductory phase of a physics study program. Concerning our general conditions, we will present our incremental implementation…

Yeo, Joseph B. W. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2017
Educators usually mean different constructs when they speak of open tasks: some may refer to pure-mathematics investigative tasks while others may have authentic real-life tasks in mind; some may think of the answer being open while others may refer to an open method. On the other hand, some educators use different terms, e.g. open and open-ended,…

Jevremovic, Aleksandar; Shimic, Goran; Veinovic, Mladen; Ristic, Nenad – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2017
The case study presented in this paper describes the pedagogical aspects and experience gathered while using an e-learning tool named IPA-PBL. Its main purpose is to provide additional motivation for adopting theoretical principles and procedures in a computer networks course. In the proposed model, the sequencing of activities of the learning…

Sussman, Dan – Educational Leadership, 2017
How can the best of mathematical problem-based learning be applied toward literature classes? Daniel Sussman, an English teacher at Moorestown Friends School in New Jersey, discusses how he uses problem solving tactics to encourage close, critical reading of fiction texts in his Jewish literature and poetry classes. He explores the challenges of…

Vieira, Camilo; Magana, Alejandra J.; Falk, Michael L.; Garcia, R. Edwin – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2017
This article presents two case studies aimed at exploring the use of self-explanations in the context of computational science and engineering (CSE) education. The self-explanations were elicited as students' in-code comments of a set of worked-examples, and the cases involved two different approaches to CSE education: glass box and black box. The…

Brice, Alexandria L. – ProQuest LLC, 2017
This study examined the relationship of Problem-based Learning (PBL) and medical students' attitudinal behavior and academic outcomes. The analyses of 14 independent, primary studies conducted between 2003-2016, on 4,981 medical students across various medical schools were included in the study. The data were examined using a meta-analysis…

Erickson, H. Lynn; Lanning, Lois A.; French, Rachel – Corwin, 2017
Knowing the facts is not enough. If we want students to develop intellectually, creatively problem-solve, and grapple with complexity, the key is in "conceptual understanding." A Concept-Based curriculum recaptures students' innate curiosity about the world and provides the thrilling feeling of engaging one's mind. This updated edition…

Kang, Jingoo; Keinonen, Tuula; Simon, Shirley; Rannikmäe, Miia; Soobard, Regina; Direito, Inês – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2019
Context-based learning (CBL) approaches have been recommended and expanded in science education to make science more relevant to students by connecting science content with students' daily life. Subsequently, in order to implement CBL at school, a group of scenarios has been produced by several stakeholders. However, there is a lack of resources…
