Khoumsi, Ahmed; Hadjou, Brahim – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2005
Our department has redesigned its electrical and computer engineering programs by adopting a learning methodology based on competence development, problem solving, and the realization of design projects. In this article, we show how this pedagogical approach has been successfully used for learning probabilities and their application to computer…

Kemp, B. – International Journal of Mathematical Education, 1977
Some reasons are given for the non-specialist student emerging from a statistics course having acquired a few techniques but no real statistical understanding. A cyclical problem-centered teaching approach is suggested, beginning with problems related to the students' own disciplines. (MN)

Tindle, Kate; Leconte, Pam; Buchanan, LaVerne; Taymans, Juliana M. – National Center on Secondary Education and Transition (NCSET), University of Minnesota, 2005
Community mapping is a tool grounded in a school-to-careers research base that can aid educators' efforts in matching students' transition needs with community assets. Community mapping (geographical or abstract) is a contextualized teaching and learning (CTL) approach that can acquaint teachers with the target community's culture, resources,…

Glenn, Phillip J.; Koschmann, Timothy; Conlee, Melinda – 1997
A study used conversational analysis to examine the reasoning students use in a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) environment as they formulate a theory (in medical contexts, a diagnosis) which accounts for evidence (medical history and symptoms). A videotaped group interaction was analyzed and transcribed. In the segment of interaction examined, the…

Baiyee, William Agbor – 2001
The effectiveness of problem-based learning (PBL) in preparing for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) was studied. A 10-week PBL experience was implemented to supplement lecture-based instruction in preparing for the MCAT. Over 2 years, 33 students participated. Participants met for 3 hours in small PBL groups directed by a tutor three…

Polanco, Rodrigo; Calderon, Patricia; Delgado, Franciso – 2001
A 3-year follow-up evaluation was conducted of an experimental problem-based learning (PBL) integrated curriculum directed to students of the first 2 years of engineering. The PBL curriculum brought together the contents of physics, mathematics, and computer science courses in a single course in which students worked on real-life problems. In…

Serafino, Kathleen; Cicchelli, Terry – Education and Urban Society, 2003
Tested the effects of prior knowledge and two instructional models--structured problem solving and guided generation (GG)--on mathematical problem solving and transfer to an analogous task. Data on students with high and low prior knowledge highlighted significant main effects for prior knowledge, significant differences on transfer to analogous…
