What Is a Good PBL Problem? Institute for TransformingUndergraduate Education University of Delaware Problem-Based Learning: From Ideas to Solutions through Communication
Deflating Grady Take a few minutes in your group to discuss the problem you experienced last week: Was this an effective problem? Why?
Good PBL Problems… • relate to real world, motivate students • require decision-making or judgment • are multi-page, multi-stage • are designed for group solving • pose open-ended initial questions that encourage discussion • address course learning objectives (both content knowledge and process skills) …help students learn
Thinking About Learning: Taxonomies • Bloom’s learning domains (cognitive, affective, psychomotor) • Anderson and Krathwohl’s revision of Bloom’s taxonomy • Fink’s taxonomy of “significant learning” • Wiggins and McTighe’s “facets of understanding”
Bloom’s Cognitive Levels Evaluation - make a judgment based on criteria Synthesis - produce something new from component parts Analysis - break material into parts to see interrelationships Application - apply concept to anew situation Comprehension - explain, interpret Knowledge - remember facts, concepts, definitions Bloom et al. (1956)
Deflating Grady Take a few minutes in your group to apply the rubric to the problem from last week.
In the next session, you will begin to write a problem for your course.
