| Develop your ability to perform a variety of scientific or technical procedures, using problem based learning strategies (PBL).
What is PBL? Problem-based
learning has been defined as: “A learning method based on using problems
as a starting point for acquisition and integration of new knowledge.”
PBL involves working through a problem in communication with one or
more other people, to find and report on possible solutions. The project
is well structured and the final report is highly specified. The
student learns not only about the subject, but also how to work to
specification, and by following the specified pathway set down, they
strengthen many valuable generic life skills in a way that relates to
the discipline concerned. |
