van der Horst, Helen v R. – Gifted Education International, 2000
A strategy of problem solving in the teaching of gifted learners is explored as a possible way of differentiating the curriculum in order to optimize learning. The Teaching Actively in a Social Context Model (TASC) and Renzulli's Enrichment Triad Model are cited as valuable teaching-learning programs. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)

Watters, James J.; Ginns, Ian S. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2000
Focuses on the implementation and evaluation of instructional strategies in a core science education methods course within a Bachelor of Education preservice program. Examines how a collaborative learning experience that incorporated components of problem based learning was implemented and how students reacted to and reflected upon this approach.…

Herron, Jean Foster; Major, Claire Howell – Journal of Continuing Higher Education, 2002
In leadership academy for community college employees, teams used problem-based learning to build leadership skills while addressing community college problems. The program's success was attributed to proactiveness, responsiveness, constituent buy-in, and use of authentic problems and evaluation methods. (Contains 47 references.) (SK)

Williams, Allison F. – Nurse Education Today, 1999
The use of problem-based learning in an Australian nursing education program was evaluated through interviews with 14 clinical teachers. They saw improvement in students' self-direction and holistic views of patients, but felt students lacked psychomotor skills and fundamental knowledge of anatomy and physiology. (SK)

Wieseman, Katherine C.; Cadwell, Doni – Social Studies and the Young Learner, 2005
The combination of students, local history, researching, and problem-based learning creates a powerful opportunity for learning to all involved. This article provides one example of how an elementary teacher and a teacher educator have used local resources and problem-based learning to teach a fourth grade unit about human communities and the…

Beaton, M.J. – Science Scope, 2004
Reading Harry Potter aloud to the class one autumn sparked the students imaginations and also the authors'. As a result, that semester the author designed and taught a thematic unit based on Harry Potter. The students were able to identify with the 11-year old wizard and his adventures in a strange new world. In mathematics, language arts, and…

Ryan, David Patrick; Marlow, Bernard – Journal of Continuing Education in the Health Professions, 2004
An observation at a problem-based learning, case-building meeting prompted the realization that building cases might itself be an effective educational intervention. We developed a process for a new continuing medical education technique that is peculiarly familiar that we call "build-a-case." Build-a-case has now been used for teaching and…

Kolodner, Janet L.; Camp, Paul J.; Crismond, David; Fasse, Barbara; Gray, Jackie; Holbrook, Jennifer; Puntambekar, Sadhana; Ryan, Mike – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2003
This article tells the story of the design of Learning by Design(tm) (LBD), a project-based inquiry approach to science learning with roots in case-based reasoning and problem-based learning, pointing out the theoretical contributions of both, classroom issues that arose upon piloting a first attempt, ways we addressed those challenges, lessons…

Jones-Wilson, T. Michelle – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2005
In traditional science teaching, teachers expect the average student to implicitly learn and apply subtle concepts and to connect seemingly disjointed information. Teachers expect them to actively assemble the building blocks of critical thinking, often without example (Meyers 1986). The critical analysis of issues and problems is second nature to…

Boyd, Aimee M.; Jackson, Melinda L. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2004
This article discusses the effectiveness of a theoretical-based integrated learning environment (ILE) for training non-traditional learners to perform the skills required to be successful in entry-level jobs. The ILE places instruction in a real-world, workplace context with realistic settings, characters, and storylines. The multimedia interface…

Hansen, Soren – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2004
In a project-organized problem-based learning curriculum, students are encouraged to learn through a process where they write questions and find their own answers. Their supervisor has an important function in facilitating this process. When it comes to project assessment, this pattern is often changed to one where the supervisor asks the…

Shingles, Richard; Feist, Theron; Brosnan, Rae – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2005
To build a learning community, the General Biology faculty at Johns Hopkins University conducted collaborative, problem-based learning assignments outside of class in which students are assigned to specific areas on campus, and gather and report data about their area. To overcome the logistics challenges presented by conducting such assignments in…

Moust, J. H. C.; Van Berkel, H. J. M.; Schmidt, H. G. – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education and Educational Planning, 2005
Nowadays many schools in higher education implement problem-based learning to foster active learning processes by students. In some schools with a number of years of experience with this approach, phenomena can be observed which indicate signs of wear. The implementation of a large-scale innovation such as problem-based learning (PBL) seems to…
