Abstract | [Abstract]: Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is an approach to education for the professions that is characterised by a focus on authentic problems likely to be faced by future professionals, organization of knowledge around problems rather than disciplines, and active learning in small groups rather than lectures. Students are motivated by the focus of PBL on problems with clear links to the target profession and the opportunities for group work appeal to the current generation of highly connected students. Thus PBL is a strong design for learning that can be supported by appropriate application of educational technology. Early applications of educational technology in PBL included the use of multimedia to present problems in ways that enhanced their authenticity, the development of software systems that supported the problem solving process, and the use of computer mediated communications to support the group interaction characteristic of PBL. |
