Innovation in Teaching and Learning for Technological Education

基于问题的案例学习（PBCL）是一种有效的实践，用于改变教学策略，并随后将课程重新设计为综合的，评估驱动的，在商业环境中设置的学习体验。 PBCL是基于尚未解决的问题，需要学习者建立在他们的知识，从事的情况下，建立能力的深度，并反映自己的思维和过程的地方行业的情况。 这种方法有助于发展复杂的沟通，在全球经济中必不可少的专家思维和适应性专门知识的进步。 来自参与ATE项目的400多名教师采用了PBCL，从而改善了学生的学习和教师的专业发展。 在以前的NSF资助的项目和约翰·布兰斯福德在生活中心在华盛顿，纳什维尔州立技术学院与WGBH合作的大学的想法和投入的基础上学到了什么，制作和传播视频，基于网络和印刷资源，用于教师的专业发展和课堂使用。 在纳什维尔州立社区学院和内布拉斯加州的中西部信息技术中心建立了由经验丰富的从业人员组成的培训小组，通过使更广泛的从业人员更容易获得基本原则来扩大PBCL的有效性。 教学对学生表现和雇主满意度的影响进行了测量。 该项目还评估了由于PBCL从业者社区的发展而引起的学院变化。

Problem-based Case Learning (PBCL) is an effective practice for producing changes in teaching strategies and subsequent redesign of courses into integrated, assessment-driven, learning experiences set in a business context. PBCL is based on yet unsolved problematic local industry situations that require learners to build on their knowledge, engage the situation to build a depth of competence, and reflect on their own thinking and process. The approach facilitates development of complex communication, expert thinking essential in a global economy and advancement in adaptive expertise. Over 400 faculty from participating ATE projects have adopted PBCL resulting in improved student learning and professional development of faculty. Building on what was learned in previous NSF-funded projects and the ideas and input of John Bransford at the LIFE Center at the University of Washington, Nashville State Technical College in partnership with WGBH, produces and disseminates video, web-based and print resources for professional development of faculty and for use in classrooms. Training teams of experienced practitioners are established at Nashville State Community College and the Midwest Center for Information Technology in Nebraska to extend the effectiveness of PBCL by making the fundamental principles more easily accessible to a wider audience of practitioners. The effect of the instruction on student performance and employer satisfaction is measured. The project also evaluates the changes in colleges due to the development of a community of PBCL practitioners.
