An Introduction to Problem-Based Learning in Higher Education - Nikolaj Stegeager - Bog

Problem-based learning and project work (PBL) can be found in a wide variety of higher education programmes and courses. Yet the ability to structure and execute problem- and project-oriented academic work is not innate – it is a skill that must be learned and practiced.
An Introduction to Problem Based Learning in Higher Education offers readers a solid foundation for maximising the potential of project work. The authors present a number of models, ideas and suggestions for how students can use the challenges and possibilities inherent in PBL to take responsibility for their own learning.
