Introduction to Problem-Based Learning

Are you looking for a teaching method that will help your students think critically and creatively, apply their knowledge to real-life disciplinary situations, be self-directed and work in groups?  If so, Problem-based Learning (PBL) may be your answer.  PBL is an inquiry-based, student-centered pedagogy based on current, evidence-based theories of learning. This workshop will introduce faculty members to the essentials of PBL, its purpose, use and how it differs from traditional teaching. Participants will learn how a PBL class is conducted, basic problem-writing, and PBL-related student assessment.
