Designing Assignments to Wrap-Up PBL Problems Workshop at Marymount University May 9, 2003 Courtesy of Hal White

PBL Problem Assignments Why consider a PBL assignment separate from a PBL problem? Isn’t the problem the assignment? You have drafted a PBL problem for your course. It addresses important concepts in a substantive context. Students will learn, understand, and remember.

Why Assignments?...Accountability What does it mean when a student says, I understand?.... Does it mean the same thing to that student that it does to another student or to you, the professor?..… How can students demonstrate their understanding to you and others?

…and Closure PBL problems are typically open-ended. Student within a single group often pursue different learning issues. Students frequently have difficulty knowing what the instructor thinks is important. Assignments focus on central issues and bring closure to PBL problems.

Activity for Everybody Consider some of the PBL problems you have encountered to date. What are some examples of student assignments from these problems? You may contribute examples from other sources as well.

Activity for Groups Based on these examples and others, generate a list of considerations that would be appropriate when designing an appropriate assignment to wrap-up a PBL problem.

Considerations for PBL Assignments Individual or group response? Course/problem content objectives? General education and PBL goals? Graded or not? Difficulty? (Bloom’s Taxonomy) Interest level for students? Form of the response?

PBL Problem Assignments Written assignments Write a 2-3 page paper on a learning issue you researched. Critique this recent magazine article in terms of the problem you have just finished. Transform an experiment described in this article into a laboratory exercise appropriate for undergraduates. Who is the audience in each case?

PBL Problem Assignments Written assignments Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper on this issue. Compose a 200 word abstract for the article you have just read based on the Guidelines for Authors in JBC. Research a topic related to the course and write a PBL problem for this course based on that topic. Who is the audience in each case?

PBL Problem Assignments Written and visual assignment Create a website appropriate for high school students on this topic.

PBL Problem Assignments Written, oral, and visual assignments Prepare a case for your position and present it to the class as a debate. Prepare a 15-minute informative talk on this topic using PowerPoint slides.

PBL Problem Assignments Visual Assignment Prepare a concept map incorporating the major issues related to this problem.

Concept Mapping: What is a concept map? What are the features of a concept map? How do you construct a concept map? How do you use concept maps? An Instructional Tool to Organize Content and Assess Student Learning

What is a Concept Map “a general method with which one can clarify and describe people’s ideas about some topic in a graphical form” Katsumoto 1997 a pictorial representation that shows the relationships between and among a connected set of concepts and ideas

Purposes for Concept Mapping Generate ideas (brainstorming) Design complex structures (long texts, web- sites) Communicate complex ideas Aid learning by explicitly integrating new and old knowledge Assess understanding or diagnose misunderstanding

Designing Assignments to Wrap-up PBL Problems Assignments are an integral part of PBL problems. PBL assignments address issues of accountability and closure. In writing PBL problems, consider the assignment carefully. PBL assignments can have many forms.
