Characteristics of Good PBL Problems Relate to real world, motivate students Require decision-making or judgments Multi-page, multi-stage Designed for group-solving Initial questions open-ended, encourage discussion Incorporates course content objectives, higher order thinking

Benjamin Bloom and His Band of College Examiners Met from Developed a classification of educational goals Published A taxonomy of educational objectives (1956)

Bloom’s Cognitive Levels Evaluation Synthesis Analysis Application Comprehension Knowledge high low

Bloom’s Cognitive Levels Evaluation - make a judgment based on criteria Synthesis - produce something new from component parts Analysis - break material into parts to see interrelationships Application - apply concept to a new situation Comprehension - explain, interpret Knowledge - remember facts, concepts, definitions high low

Step 1: Think of a Central Concept in your Course How do you usually present this concept? What kind of problem or activity do you assign? Typical end-of-chapter problem A reading Other?

Step 2: Name a Realistic Application of the Concept. Outline a Scenario. Ideas: Add story-telling to end-of-chapter problem. Add motivation, require students to go beyond rote learning, do research. Include decision-making. Other?

Step 3: Outline the problem; What will be on the first page? Suggestions: Good PBL problem with multi-page, multi-stage construction - leave students guessing Not all information given in chapter or even book - students look for resources Challenge students to come to consensus, reach conclusions, make judgements
