  1. Activity Structures for Concept Mapping in Problem-Based Learning Brian Newberry May 2011

  2. Problem-Based Learning Problem based learning is an educational practice that engages students in the process of solving a somewhat poorly structured problem or addressing a relevant situation. • Student Centric • Instructor Provides Framework and Guidance • Realistic Engagement in Relevant Topical Issues

  3. Problem-Based Learning Student Centric • Students accept more responsibility for their own learning • Students engage in activities that they choose and which may better relate to their own learning styles. • Students often care more about the outcomes of their work and therefore do better work.

  4. Problem-Based Learning Instructor Provides Framework and Guidance • Less Lecture • More Questioning • Critical Analysis of Student Product • Suggestions • Motivation • Resources

  5. Problem-Based Learning Realistic Engagement in Relevant Topical Issues • Student or Instructor Choice • Group Work • Communication • Reporting • Problem Solving

  6. Problem-Based Learning Changing Reality • Prior To Printing Press • Printing Press • Ubiquitous Information

  7. Problem-Based Learning Changing Reality - Prior To Printing Press • Information Distribution Depended On Individuals • Books Hand Produced, Relatively Rare • Single or Few Copies Common • Literacy Rates Lower • Dependence on Memory

  8. Problem-Based Learning Changing Reality - Printing Press • Growth of Libraries • Personally Owned Books Common • Multiple Copies Common • Less Reliance on Memory

  9. Problem-Based Learning Changing Reality - Ubiquitous Information • Internet • Online Libraries • Mobile Devices • Just-In-Time Learning

  10. Problem-Based Learning Sample Process • Identify/Define Problem • What is Known • What Needs Verification • What Needs to be Known • Develop Approach • Implement and Evaluate if Appropriate Examples

  11. Concept Mapping • Visual Representation of Concepts, Procedures, Relationships • Sequence/Flowchart • Mind Maps - Word Maps • Spider/Wagon Wheel/Web/Cluster • Classification or Hierarchy Examples

  12. Activity Structures Dr. Judi Harris - Virtual Architecture • Pattern of Instruction/Engagement Generalized for Use In Many Situations

  13. Activity Structure Examples • Concept linking (stretching minds, making connections) • Peer collaboration • Known, Need to Check, Need to Know, Sources

  14. Concept Linking
