The Significance of The Significance of ContextContext
Acquiring knowledge in the context in which it will be used facilitates recall and application of skills and concepts learned. (Gijselaers, 1996)
Objective: Engage students in solving real-world problems in order to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

PBL PrinciplesPBL Principles1. Learning is student-centered
2. Learning occurs in collaborative environments
3. Teachers act as facilitators called tutors
4. Problems are a stimulus for learning
Objectives: Put students in the position of creating solutions to real-word problems in order to teach them how to create knowledge, depend on each other for input, and develop critical thinking skills.

PBL Process: PBL Process: Self-Directed LearningSelf-Directed Learning
1. Present the problem first and only
2. Students work together to analyze the problem
3. Students brainstorm ideas
4. Students list facts from prior knowledge
5. Students generate questions they need to answer
6. Each student selects one question to research
7. Each student develops a plan of action

Self-Directed LearningSelf-Directed Learning8. Tutors assist at every step
9. Action Plans => library & Web research plans
10. Use a variety of source formats
11. Students report new information to group
12. Students review progress
13. Revise hypotheses (questions)
14. Research any new questions

Evaluation ProcessEvaluation Process Students achieve final solution Students do peer assessment Students do self-assessment Tutor does student assessment Objective: Involve all participants in
assessment to reinforce a sense of accountability for learning and for helping others to learn, as evidenced by the quality of the problem solving process and its products.

Exercise: PBL ProcessExercise: PBL Process
Work in pairs to:
1. Develop a PBL problem statement that requires several resources for any solution.
2. Pass the problem statement to another pair to work on. Receive a problem statement from another pair and work on it.
3. Follow the PBL steps in pursuing a solution. You may use computers and other resources.
4. Report to class the progress so far. Nahl 2011LIS 665 Teaching Information Technology Literacy
