Yadav, Aman – Action in Teacher Education, 2008
Although much has been written about the use of video cases--particularly, video cases in teacher preparation programs in the United States--little is known about what the consumers of video cases (i.e., preservice teachers) think about such cases and how they are implemented in teacher education courses. This research investigated preservice…

Te Winkel, Wilco; Rikers, Remy; Loyens, Sofie; Schmidt, Henk – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2006
Many aspects of the problem-based learning cycle aim at stimulating students to elaborate on their knowledge. This elaborative process is considered to be one of the most effective study aids for learning and applying information. One of the opportunities to stimulate this elaboration process is by offering students more, and more diverse,…

DiMatteo, Larry A.; Anenson, T. Leigh – Journal of Legal Studies Education, 2007
Business professors in the twenty-first century have been engaging in another form of problem-based pedagogy to unite business school and business practice. This teaching methodology, called "active learning," has become the new case method in college courses. Like the case-based approach, active learning bridges the gap between theory and…

Simons, Krista D.; Klein, James D. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2007
This study examined how scaffolds and student achievement levels influence inquiry and performance in a problem-based learning environment. The scaffolds were embedded within a hypermedia program that placed students at the center of a problem in which they were trying to become the youngest person to fly around the world in a balloon. One-hundred…
