Research on higher education PBL’s Efficacy
For the sake of a functioning democracy, students need experience with inquiry, for which PBL (problem-based/project-based learning) equitably provides. PBL connects inquiry to course academic objectives and skills, it is engaging, and it provides the structure inquiry learning requires. Your students generate and investigate questions to solve an authentic challenge. They engage in advocacy service when they communicate in any form their challenge solutions, to those who might implement the suggested solutions.
For your in-person class, hybrid class, synchronous or asynchronous online class.
With individual reflections, collegial collaboration, videos, interactive activities modeling parts of PBL, readings, slides, and a Google Drive full of resources – step-by-step you outline a high quality PBL unit for your students.
