Problem Based Learning History –Dewey: Engagement –Case Western Reserve in 1950s –60’s Discovery Based Learning –70’s Case Methods –McMaster University in Canada: Med. School –Most popular in Health, Science, Math
3
Problem Based Learning Definition –Problem-based learning is a development and instructional approach built around an ill- structured problem which is mess and complex in nature; requires inquiry, information- gathering, and reflection; is changing and tentative; and has no simple, fixed, formulaic, “right” solution (Finkle & Torp, 1995).
4
Problem Based Learning Comparisons to Lecture Based –Student Focus vs. Teacher Focus –Self-discovery vs. Information Processing –Active vs. Passive –Collaborative vs. Individual –Non-Linear vs. Linear –Quality of Info. vs. Quantity of Info. –Application vs. Memory
5
Problem Based Learning Key Steps in the PBL Process 1. Identify Problem authentic complex, open ended, fuzzy tied to learning outcomes tied to previous knowledge interesting
6
Problem Based Learning Key Steps in the PBL Process 1. Identify Problem Requires Interpretation Requires team approach Focus on scope and significance
7
Problem Based Learning Key Steps in the PBL Process 2. Research What do we know/need Is there enough out there? Present Places to start Have check points/due dates Monitor sources Push Students/Socratic Method
8
Problem Based Learning Key Steps in the PBL Process 3. Present Findings What is being presented? Provide Support/Evidence Make the final product interesting Make it interactive Allow for reflection Assess
9
Problem Based Learning Some Random Issues Semester long vs. Unit/Class Reign in vs. Free reign Prep for group work vs. Have at it Assess final product vs. during production List resources vs. find resources
10
Problem Based Learning Some Random Issues (Continued) In Class vs. Out of Class Permanent groups vs. fluid groups
11
Problem Based Learning Some Examples Political Science: Cases Writing: “Client Problems”, Audience Problems, Teaching Problems Literature/Theatre: Play production problems, Author biography problems Art: Forgery Problems
12
Problem Based Learning Some Examples (Continued) Math and Science: Environmental Problems, Architectural Problems, Rocket Ship Problems History: What if Problems, Reconstructed Problems
13
Problem Based Learning Some Random Tips Ask Peers about Problems Prepare Students for this Style Convert Lecture into Questions Convert Exam Questions into Problems Solicit Feedback Continually/CATs Level the Problems
14
Problem Based Learning Some Random Tips (Continued) Use Current events and multi-media Connect students with experts Instructor Creates Groups Use Rubrics Identify stakeholders connected to problem Know your schedule
15
Problem Based Learning Some Random Tips (Continued) Create Process Guide (expectations, group work presentations, processes, evaluations) You Should Map Out the Process Yourself as a Check. Keep Journals Seek out Peers who do PBL
16
Problem Based Learning Possible Examples from Your Classes
