Nikitina, Svetlana – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2006
This paper distinguishes among "contextualizing", "conceptualizing", and "problem-centring" as three basic approaches to interdisciplinary curriculum. This typology is based on the type of inquiry that takes place in the classroom. For example, if the guiding epistemology in the interdisciplinary work is that of the humanities, the mode of…

Stromso, H. I.; Grottum, P.; Lycke, K. H. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2007
There has been an increasing interest in the use of computer-mediated communication (CMC) in problem-based learning. One line of research has been to introduce synchronous, or simultaneous, communication attempting to create text-based digital real-time interaction. Compared with face-to-face (F2F) communication, CMC may be a poorer medium…

Hussain, Raja Maznah Raja; Mamat, Wan Hasmah Wan; Salleh, Norani; Saat, Rohaida Mohd; Harland, Tony – Studies in Higher Education, 2007
This study reports teacher and student experiences of problem-based learning (PBL) in three Asian countries. PBL was introduced to provide an education that would allow students to compete successfully in a changing world. Student and tutor experiences were positive and PBL was seen to work extremely well, despite the typical problems that…

Baroffio, Anne; Nendaz, Mathieu R.; Perrier, Arnaud; Vu, Nu V. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2007
Aim: In a problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum, tutor's feedback skills are important. However, evaluation studies often show that students rate many tutors as ineffective in providing feedback. We explored whether this is related: (a) to tutors' skills, and hence a teaching intervention might improve their performance; (b) to the formulation…

Gossman, Peter; Stewart, Terry; Jaspers, Marlene; Chapman, Bruce – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2007
This article reports on a small-scale research project (n = 56) that investigated student educational gain. For the purposes of this study, gain is defined as an increase in the score that students obtain for pre/post intervention tests. Students received authentic exposure to the process via a web-delivered problem-based scenario. The students…

Araz, Gulsum; Sungur, Semra – Learning and Individual Differences, 2007
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student centered approach whereby students deal with ill-structured problems while working in small groups. In this study, a path model was utilized to model the relationships among reasoning ability, learning approach, prior knowledge, motivational variables, and achievement in genetics in PBL classes. 126 eighth…

Zorko, Vida – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2009
Wikis are believed to be a powerful tool assisting the development of constructivist learning environments, as their very nature supports collaboration. However, not much research has been done into the types of collaborative interaction that take place in wikis when used for learning. The main purpose of this study is to explore the factors that…

Speck, Bruce W. – New Directions for Teaching and Learning, 2003
Suggests that facilitating effective collaboration among students requires more than urging students to work together well. This article further suggests that professors should carefully consider their method of forming groups and their process of training students to work effectively within groups. (SWM)

Hacker, Douglas J.; Dunlosky, John – New Directions for Teaching and Learning, 2003
Suggests that professors may want to help students think carefully about their own thinking. This article offers a practical approach that professors can use to help individual students and students within classrooms think metacognitively about their problem-solving efforts. (SWM)
