Callis-Duehl, Kristine; Keene, Keith; Christiensen, Tim; Stiller, John – Science Teacher, 2018
Problem-based learning (PBL) fosters both content knowledge and content understanding, improves critical and process thinking skills, and promotes peer-to-peer learning, leadership, and teamwork (Hmelo-Silver 2004). Instructors support the PBL process by guiding students through activities that challenge their current knowledge and understanding…

Beddoes, Kacey; Panther, Grace – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2018
Teamwork is increasingly seen as an important component of engineering education programmes. Yet, prior research has shown that there are numerous ways in which teamwork is gendered, and can lead to negative experiences for women students. This article presents the first interview findings on professors' perspectives on gender and teamwork.…

Lund, Alana; Roemmele, Christopher; Roetker, Lisa; Smith, Steven – Science Teacher, 2018
The study of earthquakes can help students build connections between theoretical analysis and real-world applications. However, units on earthquakes typically struggle to bridge that gap between theory and application. Traditional class activities focus on measuring earthquakes, such as triangulating epicenters by analyzing P and S wave arrival…

Talukder, Ali Azgor; Samuel, Moses – Cambridge Journal of Education, 2018
Problematisation is the means by which critical pedagogy attempts to destabilise power relations related to gender, race, class, identity etc. Studies in critical pedagogy in language teaching explore different ways of problematisation treating problematisation as classroom practice. However, they do not specifically address the teacher's struggle…

Mendoza, Brigitte Julieth Rodriguez; Diaz, Martha Melizza Ordoñez; Silva, Luis Carlos Meneses – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2018
Introduction: In the educational context, information and communication technologies imply a paradigm shift in learning-teaching processes both in the renewal of knowledge and practices and in evaluating knowledge appropriation. In this sense, in the present paper we analyze the incidence of the implementation of didactic strategies, problem-based…

Harris, Clinton M. – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Project Based Learning (PBL) is an instructional strategy used to aid in the improvement of student achievement by incorporating a project as the medium to collaborate and augment competency and skills. The purpose of this study was to explore and examine the implementation of PBL via the use of a district-wide PBL instructional curriculum for…

Moallem, Mahnaz; Igoe, Elizabeth – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2018
What effects does PBL have on student learning outcomes, knowledge acquisition, and higher order thinking skills? This question continues to influence the adoption and implementation of problem-based learning (PBL) since its inception. The answer to this overarching question is still lacking. This chapter responds to this question by first…

Erickson, MaryGrace; Marks, Danielle; Karcher, Elizabeth – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2020
This study examines the interest, motivation, and behavioral engagement of college students in an introductory course relative to three instructional formats used in the course: hands-on, problem-based laboratory stations; problem-based written case studies; and video lectures. Groups of five to seven students were assigned learning activities as…

Blanford, Justine; Kennelly, Patrick; King, Beth; Miller, Douglas; Bracken, Tim – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2020
Capstones in professional masters-level programs serve a unique nexus of developing professional, industry-specific competencies within a graduate-level academic setting. Universities offering such degree programs must demonstrate the benefits of an academic approach to working professionals, while focusing on the development or enhancement of a…

Kuvac, Meltem; Koc, Isil – Educational Studies, 2019
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of problem-based learning (PBL) on the metacognitive awareness of pre-service science teachers. In the study, an experimental design with pre-test/post-test control group was used. A total of 51 junior pre-service science teachers participated in the study. The study was carried out over 10…

O'Brien, Emma; McCarthy, John; Hamburg, Ileana; Delaney, Yvonne – Journal of Workplace Learning, 2019
Purpose: This paper aims to explore how in Irish small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), problem-based learning (PBL) could possibly provide a paradigm which addresses two key research objectives: What are the learning needs and challenges faced by Irish SMEs? and How could PBL satisfy these needs through integrating formal and informal…

Savall-Alemany, Francisco; Guisaola, Jenaro; Cintas, Sergio Rosa; Martínez-Torregrosa, Joaquín – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Research has highlighted difficulties experienced by students when studying quantum physics in introductory courses. In this paper, we present a teaching and learning sequence (TLS) aiming at introducing a quantum model of emission and absorption of radiation and we assess its impact on the students' learning about atomic spectra. The TLS has been…

Zalewski, Janusz; Novak, Gregor; Carlson, Randall E. – Education Sciences, 2019
This paper is an overview of approaches to teaching physics courses delivered to students of engineering disciplines. It addresses, first, the history of teaching physics to engineering students starting in the early 20th century, then reviews the main issues presented and discussed over the last decade in a series of conferences on Physics…

Cian, Heidi; Marshall, Jeff; Cook, Michelle – Science Teacher, 2019
The "Framework" (NRC 2012) and "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS Lead States 2013) require science teachers to think differently. Specifically, NGSS's performance expectations now require that three domains (disciplinary core ideas (DCI), crosscutting concepts (CCC), and scientific and engineering practices (SEP)) be…
