Students' Experiences in Problem-Based Learning: Three Blind Mice Episode or Educational Innovation?
Tan, Oon Seng – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2004
Problem-based learning architecture typically involves a shift in three loci of educational preoccupation, namely (1) content coverage to problem engagement; (2) role of lecturing to role of coaching; and (3) students as passive learners to that of active problem-solvers. The purpose of this paper is to examine the issues of students' experiences…

Hung, David; Tan, Seng Chee – International Journal of Instructional Media, 2004
The perspective of communities as a situated context dates back to the works of Vygotsky (1978, 1981) who posited that cognition begins at the social inter-mental level and through the process of internalization meanings become translated or assimilated into the individual level. Within this social to individual transition, learners can be…

Maxwell, Nan L.; Mergendoller, John R.; Bellisimo, Yolanda – Simulation & Gaming, 2004
This article argues that the merger of simulations and problem-based learning (PBL) can enhance both active-learning strategies. Simulations benefit by using a PBL framework to promote student-directed learning and problem-solving skills to explain a simulated dilemma with multiple solutions. PBL benefits because simulations structure the…

Wood, Alistair; Head, Michael – English for Specific Purposes, 2004
This article describes a case study of an approach to medical education known as problem-based learning, or PBL, which has been applied to the teaching of a course in biomedical English. It is suggested that the course fulfills the traditional requirements of an EAP course in tertiary education, but also satisfies the requirements of PBL in being…

Reilly, Andrew; Huss, Megan; Stoel, Leslie – Journal of Family and Consumer Sciences, 2005
The application of the technology acceptance model to a merchandising course teaching industry software was evaluated. Based on technology acceptance research, industry software was presented emphasizing ease-of-use and usefulness. The final course project gave students a quasi real-life experience of combining merchandising skills with the…

Mack, Kevin – Academic Psychiatry, 2005
Objective: In problem-based learning curricula, cases are usually clustered into identified themes or organ systems. While this method of aggregating cases presents clear advantages in terms of resource alignment and student focus, an alternative "hidden cluster" approach provides rich opportunities for content integration. Method: The author…

Miller, Janice S. – Journal of Management Education, 2004
This article describes a problem-based learning (PBL) project that incorporates active learning into an organizational behavior (OB) course. It describes a six-step process for designing a course around problems that students identify in their work, school, or personal lives. In addition to researching an OB concept to address their problem,…

Kosal, Erica F. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2004
This paper presents a case where students can learn about aquatic communities. In this case, students speculate on what may have caused a major fish kill in an estuary in North Carolina. In the process, they explore how land runoff and excess nutrients affect aquatic communities. They also learn about the complex life cycle of the dinoflagellate…

Netshandama, V. O.; Farrell, Sarah P. – Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement, 2006
This case study discusses the deconstructions and synergies of problem-based learning (PBL) and community-based project-organized education. The growing literature on these methods lacks in coverage of their synergies and their applicability to meaningful projects with communities as partners. Community-based learning is inherently problem based…

Lehman, James D.; George, Melissa; Buchanan, Peggy; Rush, Michael – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2006
Calls for reform in science education stress the need for inquiry-based, integrative methods that provide students with opportunities to solve authentic problems. Project INSITE, a four-year professional development effort in Indiana, was designed to help teachers integrate problem-centered science methods in their classrooms. This approach was…

Uden, Lorna; Beaumont, Chris – Information Science Publishing, 2006
Problem-based learning (PBL) has been the focus of many developments in teaching and learning facilitation in recent years. It has been claimed that PBL produces independent learners who are motivated, engaged in deep learning, work as a team, and develop effective strategies, skills and knowledge for life-long learning and professional work.…
