INFO101 Module 1 Notes
The idea that you can solve problems in unique ways. ● Students should be empowered to solve real-world problems. ● Problem-based learning started as a way to give medical students real-world problems to solve. It eventually made its way into business, law, engineering, and education. ● By the 1960s, you could find elements of problem-based learning within the new social studies framework of Massialas and Cox and Herbert Thelen’s group investigation model. ● Problem-based learning fits well within the social family of education because of the emphasis on real-world problems in human systems. ● Children should be engaged in solving problems in their world.
● It’s important that the problems feel real to students. ● It’s not project-based learning, it’s problem-based learning because you don’t have to design a product. ● Ideally, students will solve problems that actually exist in their owl worlds.
