The task for this worksheet is quite simple … what do you think!? Here it is: Use the provided learning materials of this section, then choose a topic or subject content of your academic interest (e.g. from your last term, from this summer school, or from your current teaching at university) and try to turn it into a PBL environment.

You can work by yourself on this worksheet. However, we recommend working in a group.

• M01-1: Examples of PBL use in learning
• M01-2: Four principles of problem-based learning
• M01-3: PBL step by step

Corresponding to the previous input presentation on PBL discover some M01-1: Examples of PBL use in learning at next; 15 minutes.

Group work: Choose a topic of interest and try to turn it into a PBL-environment just for an example. Choose a topic you can easily handle within the next 45 minutes.

Develop a sketch concept of the possible PBL-environment of the chosen topic. That means: 1) Try to formulate a good problem statement. 2) Try to disassemble the problem into its major aspects and concepts (see again the 3C3R PBL problem design model), and structure it reverse as seven-steps sequence.

Use the provided material (poster paper, board marker etc.) to prepare a visualization / outline of your PBL-environment; 10 minutes.

Be prepared to present your result to the class; 5 minutes.
