Carlos J. Landaverde-Alvarado – Chemical Engineering Education, 2024
We redesigned our undergraduate laboratories to create a structured sequence that continuously improves the learning experience of students. We utilized a PBL and PjBL approach in which students are progressively introduced to ill-structured open-ended problems, the development of projects, and the creation of research products. We dynamically…

Yasemin Kirkgöz; Burcu Turhan – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2024
This multiple case study aims to describe how Turkish students in English Language Teaching (ELT) and Electrical-Electronics Engineering Program (EEP) conceive of Problem-based Learning (PBL), and how they experience their studies within a PBL-oriented curriculum. With the inclusion of these two cases into the study, the rationale is to represent…

McQuade, Robert; Wiggins, Sally; Ventura-Medina, Esther; Anderson, Tony – Classroom Discourse, 2018
As a pedagogical approach that aims to develop students' group-working skills and to challenge their current knowledge, problem-based learning (PBL) provides a unique setting in which to examine disagreements in interaction. Previous research on disagreements in classrooms has typically examined tutor-student interaction or student-student…
