Problem-based STEM education can be defined as the solving of real-life problems by using science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. This study aims to determine the effect of problem-based STEM practices on pre-service teachers' conceptual understanding. The pre-service science teachers participated in 12 weeks of STEM…

The emergence of entrepreneurial groups from university students and alumni can trigger the nation's economic advancement. This study investigated the impact of project-based learning (PJBL) models in enhancing students' business management abilities, integrating components such as resource management, financial-administrative structuring,…

This article looks at a challenge-based learning (CBL) approach that aims to engage students in sustainable transitions within urban and regional planning. Drawing on CBL, we focus on how living labs -- the idea of using a city as a site for user-driven innovation and development -- can be used as a site and methodology in education and research…

Collaboration is key for success across multiple industries, including healthcare settings. In order to prepare students for contemporary and future healthcare landscapes, there is scope for higher education to embrace development of a range of capabilities for collaboration, including those that might be less visible and hard to measure. Using…

Problem-based learning (PBL) is a pedagogical approach that helps learners develop (meta)cognitive and social skills. In PBL, students identify problems, design strategies, implement them, and reflect on their resolution process. When applied in English language teaching (ELT), students interact throughout these phases, developing language…

Environmental pollution is a critical issue that requires students to develop strong reasoning and problem-solving skills to understand and address its complexities. However, traditional learning models are not optimal in fostering high-level thinking skills. This study aimed to determine the effect of the PBL-STEM model on deductive, inductive,…

The purpose of this research was to use the task-driven teaching method to improve the cooperative ability of undergraduate students, and to compare their cooperative ability before and after the implementation of this method. The participants were 30 freshmen from Zhengzhou Tourism College, China, selected using cluster random sampling. The…

This study explored engineering educators' perspectives on their professional learning in a pedagogical development programme with the ultimate goal of achieving educational change in African countries through the adoption of PBL methodology. This study was based on a three-year-long programme organised by a Danish university through an Erasmus…

The growing awareness of the increasingly complex environmental changes requires an educational approach that fosters critical thinking. Through the implementation of PBL, students will gain a deeper understanding and develop an attitude of environmental care, particularly towards their surroundings. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness…

The Medical Programme at Linköping University, committed to Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and interprofessional education, confronted the necessity for pedagogical revitalization due to an upsurge in student numbers, alterations in national physician licensing criteria, and an organizational framework shift. In response to these challenges,…

Ergonomics courses typically cover a range of topics related to the design and organization of workplaces to optimize human performance and well-being while minimizing injury risk and discomfort. This study introduces the PBL application steps to attract attention to the importance of noise not only in workplaces but also in daily life. The…

This work provides inspiration to foster Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in teaching practices related to waste management. Problem-Based Learning is about providing a learning environment where students can work practically and theoretically with problems of relevance for society. In this learning process, students themselves will define societally…

The present study was to teach metabolic syndrome (MetS) disease through a scenario developed according to the problem-based learning (PBL) approach in the biochemistry class. The study was designed as a single group pre-test and post-test research. The study group consisted of first-year students (N = 183) from the nursing department within the…

This paper examines supporting elements of senior engineering students' career aspirations within a problem-based learning (PBL) environment in Denmark. Using the systems theory framework of career development, this study investigates both individual and contextual influences of career aspirations. A mixed-method approach was employed,…

This study explores engineering design students' perceptions of their agency for sustainability in a Danish problem- and project-based learning (PBL) context. A conceptual framework is proposed with three dimensions: personal, action, and contextual. Q methodology was adopted to investigate the subjective views of 24 first-year undergraduate…
