Horak, Anne K.; Marotta, Jessica; Brusseau, Rebecca; Daly, Kimberley – Teacher Development, 2023
This study explored using video self-analysis as a practice to help teachers identify effective problem-based learning (PBL) instruction and identify areas for their professional growth. Five seventh-grade teachers in the United States who varied in age, gender, ethnicity, and years of experience video-recorded their PBL instruction. Teachers then…

Christensen, Shane W. – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Problem: Several reviews of literature have been completed to formalize the PBL approach (Alacapinar, 2008; Baines & DeBarger, 2017; Bell, 2010; Blumenfeld et al., 1991; Condliffe et al., 2017; English, 2013; Holm, 2011; Holmes, 2012; Kokotsaki et al., 2016; Krajcik & Blumenfeld, 2006; Lam, Cheng, & Choy, 2010; Lee et al., 2014;…

Brush, Thomas; Ottenbreit-Leftwich, Anne; Kwon, Kyungbin; Karlin, Michael – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2020
The focus of this research project was to examine how problem- based learning (PBL) impacts students' interest and knowledge in computer science (CS) at the elementary level. By focusing on a problem that emphasizes social activism, we hypothesized that PBL CS could increase interest for students. We employed an iterative design-based research…

Visnovska, Jana; Cobb, Paul – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2019
We report on five-year professional development collaboration with a group of middle-school mathematics teachers during which their views of what constitutes a productive classroom statistical activity changed. The teachers' statistics instruction was initially typical in the US context and focused on producing calculations and following…

Lee, Huei-Chen; Blanchard, Margaret R. – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2019
This quantitative study examined factors underlying middle and high school teachers' choices about whether to use problem-based learning (PBL). Survey items measured respondents' perceived competence, autonomy, and relatedness, and the value and costs they placed on implementing PBL. Teachers who have taught with PBL (n = 126) had significantly…

Cairns, Darran R.; Curtis, Reagan; Sierros, Konstantinos A.; Bolyard, Johnna J. – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2018
There is currently significant interest in 3D fabrication in middle school classrooms. At its best 3D printing can be utilized in authentic design projects that integrate math, science, and technology, which facilitate deep learning by students. In essence, students are able to tinker in a virtual world using 3D design software and then tinker in…

Maeng, Jennifer L.; Bell, Randy L.; St. Clair, Tyler; Gonczi, Amanda L.; Whitworth, Brooke A. – International Journal of Science Education, 2018
This embedded mixed method study used a randomised controlled? trial design to examine two cohorts of upper (grades 4-6) elementary teachers' classroom implementation of nature of science (NOS) instruction following their participation in a statewide professional development (PD). The treatment group (n = 145) was compared to a control group (n =…

A Blended Professional Development Program to Help a Teacher Learn to Provide One-to-One Scaffolding
Belland, Brian R.; Burdo, Ryan; Gu, Jiangyue – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2015
Argumentation is central to instruction centered on socio-scientific issues (Sadler & Donnelly in "International Journal of Science Education," 28(12), 1463-1488, 2006. doi: 10.1080/09500690600708717). Teachers can play a big role in helping students engage in argumentation and solve authentic scientific problems. To do so, they need…

Stevens, Mark – Journal of Online Learning Research, 2020
Blended learning has been touted to have substantial benefits for both teachers and learners. Enacting blended instruction with students provides data and other information sources to support teacher reflection. However, reflective accounts from practicing teachers in these blended environments are missing from research literature. With these…

Gomez Zwiep, Susan – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2016
This study examines teachers' initial conceptions of an integrated STEM-PBL approach and their perceptions of what facilitates or hinders implementation in their schools. This study took place within the first year of a three-year STEM Professional Development (PD) program for middle school math, science and English language arts teachers. The two…

Zhang, Meilan; Lundeberg, Mary; McConnell, Tom J.; Koehler, Matthew J.; Eberhardt, Jan – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2010
Previous research has shown that questioning is a key strategy that facilitators use to promote discussion in Problem-Based Learning (PBL). Yet, there is a lack of detailed understanding on what questions facilitators ask and how those questions affect discussion. In this study we examined different types of questions that experienced facilitators…
