…the individuals learning the most in [the teacher-centered classrooms] are the professors. They have reserved for themselves the very conditions that promote learning:
What I know best I have taught…

Knowledge is transmitted from professor to student.
Students construct knowledge through gathering and synthesizing information and integrating it with the general skills of inquiry, communication, critical thinking, and problem solving.

“True learning is based on discovery guided by mentoring rather than the transmission of
knowledge.”

“Think/Pair/Share” PBL
![Page 25: University of Delaware Plenary Presentation at September Institute Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning University of Cincinnati September.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6d5503460f94a4cec9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
What is Problem-Based Learning?
PBL prepares students to think critically and analytically, and to find and use appropriate learning resources.
PBL is an instructional method that challenges students to “learn to learn,” working cooperatively in groups to seek solutions to real world problems.
![Page 26: University of Delaware Plenary Presentation at September Institute Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning University of Cincinnati September.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6d5503460f94a4cec9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
“The principal idea behind PBL is that the starting point for learning should be a problem, a query, or a puzzle that the learner wishes to solve.”Boud (1985)
![Page 27: University of Delaware Plenary Presentation at September Institute Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning University of Cincinnati September.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6d5503460f94a4cec9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What are the CommonFeatures of PBL?
Learning is initiated by a problem.Problems are based on complex, real-world
situations.All information needed to solve problem is not
initially given.Students identify, find, and use appropriate
resources.Students work in permanent groups.Learning is active, integrated, cumulative, and
connected.

PBL: The Process
Students are presented with a problem. They organize ideas and previous knowledge.
Students pose questions, defining what they know and don’t know.
Assign responsibility for questions, discuss resources.
Reconvene, explore newly learned information, refine questions.
