Let students own their learning
Problem-based learning (PBL) was first implemented nearly 50 years ago. It remains a popular instructional technique for those seeking to give their students the opportunity to develop the skills required for success in their studies and in their future careers. Such skills include critical thinking, evaluating information sources and teamworking, among many others. In this article, Overton and Randles describe the development and implementation of a novel pedagogy, dynamic problem-based learning (dPBL).
David Read summarises and reviews the study.
