Interdisciplinarity and Problem-Based Learning in Higher Education

This book addresses the relation between Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and interdisciplinarity and challenges the often implicit assumption that PBL leads to interdisciplinarity by default. The book examines theoretical and philosophical aspects of PBL and interdisciplinary learning. The first part of the book conceptualises the notions of problem-based learning and interdisciplinary learning, and highlights some key overlaps and ways of conceiving of their interrelatedness. It discusses the role of problem-based medical education in relation to interdisciplinary professionalism in medical education. Taking the reader into the realm of techno-anthropology, the book discusses the role of problems and projects in transgressing disciplines, and presents an analysis of three challenges facing new students when entering interdisciplinary and problem-based higher education. The second part of the book focuses on practicing interdisciplinarity in problem-based higher education. It explores how the construction of problems in interdisciplinary PBL projects can be seen from the perspectives of multicultural groups, and examines group processes in interdisciplinary PBL projects. It concludes by taking a closer look at student practices in interdisciplinary PBL, and at how students are positioned and position themselves in the complex transdisciplinary PBL project.
Problem-based Learning in Higher Education
Problem-based learning is becoming increasingly popular in higher education because it is seen to take account of pedagogical and social trends (such as flexibility, adaptability, problem-solving and critique) in ways which many traditional methods of learning do not. There is little known about what actually occurs inside problem-based curricula in terms of staff and student lived experience. This book discloses ways in which learners and teachers manage complex and diverse learning in the context of their lives in a fragile and often incoherent world. These are the untold stories. The central argument of the book is that the potential and influence of problem-based learning is yet to be realized personally, pedagogically and professionally in the context of higher education. It explores both the theory and the practice of problem-based learning and considers the implications of implementing problem-based learning organizationally.
Guide to Integrating Problem-Based Learning Programs in Higher Education Classrooms: Design, Implementation, and Evaluation
Recently, there has been an increase in businesses and schools that are using some form of problem-based learning daily. By educating undergraduate and graduate students using this service delivery model, they will be better prepared to enter the workforce and increase their marketability. Further study is required to ensure students and faculty utilize this model to its full potential. Guide to Integrating Problem-Based Learning Programs in Higher Education Classrooms: Design, Implementation, and Evaluation provides college and university faculty with ways to establish, use, and evaluate a successful problem-based undergraduate or graduate program. Covering key topics such as peer tutors, evaluation, technology, and project-based learning, this reference work is ideal for higher education faculty, teachers, instructional designers, curriculum developers, school administrators, university leaders, researchers, practitioners, and students.
