	BIE.org: Project Based Learning: Handbook: Introduction
		PBL is an attempt to create new instructional practices that reflect the environment in which children now live and learn.
		PBL is a way of working with students as they discover more about themselves and the world, and that brings job satisfaction.
		PBL can contribute significantly to this process by encouraging teacher collaboration, motivating students to achieve, using the tools and language of project management and organizational change, and helping to incorporate school-wide learning outcomes into the curriculum.

	UD PBL: Problem-Based Learning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Problem-based learning (PBL) is an instructional method that challenges students to "learn to learn," working cooperatively in groups to seek solutions to real world problems.
		These problems are used to engage students' curiosity and initiate learning the subject matter.
		PBL prepares students to think critically and analytically, and to find and use appropriate learning resources.

	f0000012 Scaffolding for Success in Problem-Based Learning
		The definition of PBL that is used here is that it is a subset of problem-centered learning methods which is easily identifiable by the use of typically ill-structured problems which precede and motivate learning, and act as a vehicle for encouraging student ownership of the learning environment.
		PBL lays the responsibility and, ultimately, the control of the learning process essentially at the feet of the student; however, this is not a process of abandonment.
		The benefits of PBL are often constrained by implementation factors, such as consideration for external (non-PBL) courses and student perceptions of time requirements, or by gradual introduction of the PBL environment (such as gradated fidelity), or by bounding the degree to which ideals are attempted to be implemented.

		It will be up to the teacher to convince students that they are researchers looking for information and solutions to problems that may not have one "right answer." Here are likely problems:* Students will want to know what they really have to do to get their grade.
		Students in PBL have an increased ability to integrate knowledge from different sources and acquire superior reasoning skills.
		Brooks and Brooks (1993) state that "awareness of students' points of view is an instructional entry point that sits at the gateway of personalized education...teachers who operate without awareness of their students' points of view often doom students to dull, irrelevant experiences, and even failure" (p.

		Thirteen of 18 respondents, for example, indicated they were "somewhat undecided" about their post-Institute ability to implement PBL in their chosen course (item 2 a); four respondents identified themselves as "very confident" and one as "undecided".
		Participants expressed some uncertainty about their abilities to make PBL work in their courses but also tended to be optimistic about their long-term teaching success and their knowledge of PBL and other teaching methods.
		PBL offered a different perspective on what could be considered important in the learning process—namely, collaboration.

	PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING (PBL)
		PBL was officially adopted as a pedagogical approach in 1968 at McMaster University, a Canadian medical school.
		As students participate in PBL over time, they become self-directed learners who are able to ask their own questions, and identify what they need to know to continue their learning.
		The beauty of PBL is that students use their prior knowledge when developing ideas and formulating those ideas into hypothesis that can be tested.

	Evaluation of Project Based Learning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		PBL (and related instructional approaches) has generally been shown to be effective in increasing student motivation and in improving student problem-solving and higher order thinking skills.
		PBL is especially effective when supported by educational technology (Blumenfeld et al., 1991; Means and Olson, 1997; Coley, Cradler, and Engel, 1996).
		Project-based learning is typically implemented in the context of comprehensive educational reforms and therefore it is difficult to isolate the effects of PBL on student learning.

	What is PBL?
		The potential of PBL to create diversity and introduce new awareness may challenge the teacher's ability to monitor the proceedings without controlling them, guide student progress with leadership, and address accountability issues.

		Be prepared to explain your decision to embark on PBL to the parents of the students involved.

		PBL was first introduced in the late 1960s at McMaster University in North America, and has since spread around the world mainly in medical education.
		At Queen Mary University of London, for first year students, the PBL program consists of 6 case studies (3 per semester) and some initial sessions of key-skills training, as well as some miscellaneous lectures that are beneficial and essential to the development of students.
		PBL in the Department of Materials at Queen Mary University in London is conceived as a way of reinforcing the traditional lecture-based process of delivering academic content, and it is not designed as a substitute.

	F0000003 PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING: A PARADIGM SHIFT OR A PASSING FAD?
		In many ways, PBL was the right response for the time in which it gained a foothold in medical schools, when one considers the questions which were being raised at the time about problems with traditional medical curricula.
		Another contributing factor to the success of PBL as an innovation is that in the first few schools where it was attempted, it was perceived as being very successful by faculty and students.
		PBL will undoubtedly change in its implementation from the initial conceptions because of both new demands and opportunities placed on schools, and because of "poor" or half-hearted implementation.

	How does PBL work (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		PBL is a student-centered instructional strategy to promote active learning while learners investigate authentic problems.
		PBL provides a powerful way to enhance the quality of education by involving students in interesting and challenging problems that prompt reflection and deep learning.
		Throughout the entire process students are prompted to reflect on what they have learned and what they still need to know, similar to the process scientists go through during their scientific explorations.

		Teachers interested in learning about PBL are put into a PBL working group with a master PBL tutor.
		Following a brief introduction to PBL, the PBL process is demonstrated using a master tutor with students.
		During the demonstration another master tutor uses an overhead projector to provide a running commentary on the PBL process going on in the group; the strategies being used by the tutor, the interactions among group members, the pedagogical implications, etc. This has made the observation of the PBL process much more insightful, informative and enjoyable.

		The Center’s mission was to support the Samford community in enhancing student learning through the training, implementation and documentation of PBL and other methods of active, student-centered, collaborative, inquiry-based learning; and to share these practices with other educators.
		The site also contains a guide to relevant workshops and conferences, links to many other PBL related Web sites, and a listing of institutions that are using PBL in their undergraduate and/or graduate programs.

		PBL's are inherently social and collaborative in methodology and teach students essential "soft skills" as well as domain specific content and skills.
		This site was constructed for educators because there is still much to be learned about this relatively new form of pedagogy.
