====== H01: Problem Based Learning ====== This third lesson is based on the constructivist learning paradigm which provides a contemporary approach for creating active and situated learning environments in higher education. Resulting from [[en:courses:training:element-05:lecture-notes:lc-ln-02|L02: Learning Theories and Approaches of Student's Learning]] we can summarize so far that * there is no knowledge (construction) without meaning from experience the learner discovers by himself/herself; * the shift from teaching to learning means that our focus on teaching in higher education should be on the learner and his/her learning and not on subjects, contents, bodies of knowledge... etc. to be taught. Originating from the discussion in [[en:courses:training:element-05:worksheets:lc-ws-02-1|W02-1: Shift from Teaching to Learning]] the question arose how activating learning environments in higher education should look like in order to foster students active thinking and self-paced learning therefore? ==== Things we cover in this session ==== * Introduction to the instructional method of Problem-based Learning (PBL) * How to design problem-based learning environment in higher education. ==== Things you need for this session ==== * [[en:courses:archiv:worksheets:lc-ws-03-1|W01-1: Your first PBL "Seven Jump"]] ==== Things to take home from this session ==== At the end of this session you should be able to * describe the basic concepts of PBL * apply the PBl-Cycle to a topic of your subject or professional field * discuss and value PBL as vehicle for active learning in higher education settings ===== Slides ===== {{section>resources:templates:template_messages#Google Presentation Caption}} ===== Hungry minds ===== Since the story of PBL is so extensive, it is worth reading further at this point.
