Managing Problem-Based Learning in Large Lecture Sections
Bledsoe, Karen E.
Bioscience Education, v18 Article 1 Dec 2011
Problem-based learning can enhance reasoning and concept development among undergraduate college students by presenting content within authentic contexts. However, large lecture sections present problems and barriers to implementing PBL. This article discusses approaches used by the author to infuse PBL into large biology lecture sections, and explores ways in which challenges to PBL in these settings may be overcome. (Contains 1 figure and 2 tables.)
