Patrick Bijsmans; Jeanine de Bruin; Afke Groen – European Journal of Higher Education, 2025
The transition from high school to university often amounts to a muddled process, making it both an exciting and challenging time for many undergraduate students. Integrating both academically and socially is key in this respect. Social support from peers and teaching staff, but also from family and friends, can have a decisive impact. A learning…

Natacha Souto-Melgar – Chemical Engineering Education, 2025
This paper describes the combination of problem-based learning (PBL) and simulation tools in the chemical engineering unit operation laboratory course, focusing on heat transfer concepts using a shell-and-tube heat exchanger experiment. This approach has significantly enhanced student learning outcomes by bridging theory with practice, fostering a…

Cheryl L. B. Manning; Nicole D. LaDue – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2025
The geological sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (geo-STEM) have the capacity to investigate and address geological and environmental challenges. Many of these challenges (e.g., pollution, flooding, and slope failure) unjustly impact lower socio-economic communities in urban and rural settings where there is limited access to…

Sarah Ferguson; Denise L. Polojac-Chenoweth – Teachers College Press, 2024
Problem-based instruction (PBI) is a research-based, student-centered instructional strategy that uses rich mathematical tasks to connect students' previously acquired math knowledge to new mathematical concepts. Unlike traditional teaching and learning strategies, PBI facilitates learning by making connections between mathematical concepts and…

Roni Reiter-Palmon; Salvatore Leone; Emanuel Schreiner – Creativity Research Journal, 2024
Contradictions and competing demands are common in everyday problems. To address these problems, individuals need to both recognize and integrate these contradictions during problem-solving to find creative solutions. We propose that recognition and integration take place in the problem construction phase of the creative problem-solving process.…

Giajenthiran Velmurugan – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2024
This paper advocates for the adoption of Nexus Analysis as a robust analytical framework in Problem-Based Learning (PBL) research. Developed by Scollon and Scollon, Nexus Analysis offers a unique lens for examining the intricate dynamics of PBL by seamlessly integrating micro-level interactions with macrolevel societal discourses. The approach…

Saqr, Mohammed; López-Pernas, Sonsoles – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2023
Early research on online PBL explored student satisfaction, effectiveness, and design. The temporal aspect of online PBL has rarely been addressed. Thus, a gap exists in our knowledge regarding how online PBL unfolds: when and for how long a group engages in collaborative discussions. Similarly, little is known about whether and what sequence of…

Loyens, Sofie M. M.; van Meerten, Julianne E.; Schaap, Lydia; Wijnia, Lisette – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Critical thinking (CT) is widely regarded as an important competence to obtain in education. Students' exposure to problems and collaboration have been proven helpful in promoting CT processes. These elements are present in student-centered instructional environments such as problem-based and project-based learning (P(j)BL). Next to CT, also…

Hatipoglu, Cenk; Semerci, Nuriye – African Educational Research Journal, 2023
Different methods are needed in the field of vocational education to ensure that students associate the knowledge they have learned with real-life situations. Considering that problem-based learning (PBL) techniques also have important effects in the context of human values, this study aimed to investigate the effects of PBL models on high school…

Kloeg, Julien – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2023
In this paper, this theme of the open question is offered as a hermeneutical approach to problem-based learning. Most of the scientific literature on problem-based learning is in the realm of the behavioral-sciences. To the extent that the latter becomes the exclusive focus of research on problem-based learning, there is a risk of…

The Effect of Problem-Based STEM Practices on Pre-Service Science Teachers' Conceptual Understanding
Seyyit Altunisik; Salih Uzun; Didem Inel Ekici – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2023
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…

Nora McDonald; Aaron Massey; Foad Hamidi – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2023
Efforts to include people with disabilities in design education are difficult to scale, and dynamics of participation need to be carefully planned to avoid putting unnecessary burdens on users. However, given the scale of emerging AI-enhanced technologies and their potential for creating new vulnerabilities for marginalized populations, new…

Hanna Mattila; Signe Hald; Dylan Chau Huynh – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2023
This paper examines a PBL project module "Sustainable Urban Transformation" in an Urban Design master's education. The module combines urban design and hydrology engineering. Within the module, students are supported by lectures and study circles on various dimensions of sustainability, especially vis-a-vis climate change. However, they…

Pia Fricker; Friederike Landau-Donnelly; Constantinos Miltiadis; Shubhangi Singh – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2023
This article presents a nuanced discussion of four episodes on the complexity of possible trajectories for sustainable futures through diverse but intersecting practices and discourses as heterogeneous but complementary articulations of "adaptation and space." As design and creative processes evolve, new tools and methods, often adopted…

Zubair Ahmad; Mohammad Ammar; Abdellatif Sellami; Noora J. Al-Thani – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
This article systematically reviews the pedagogical approaches adopted in high school chemistry education with the aim of highlighting the most effective evidence-based instructional practices reported in the literature. For this, a meta-analysis of 35 pedagogical approaches is analyzed, and their effect sizes (Cohen's d) are compared in terms of…
