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，可以改变教学策略，随后将课程重新设计为集成的、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的当地行业情况，要求学习者建立在他们的知识，参与的情况下建立能力的深度，并反思自己的思维和过程。这种方法促进了复杂沟通的发展，全球经济中必不可少的专家思维和适应性专业知识的进步。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。基于在以前的nsf资助项目中所学到的知识，以及华盛顿大学纳什维尔州立技术学院生命中心的John Bransford与WGBH合作的想法和投入，为教师的专业发展和课堂使用制作和传播视频、网络和印刷资源。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，通过使更多的从业人员更容易地了解基本原则，扩大PBCL的有效性。测量了教学对学生表现和雇主满意度的影响。该项目还评估了由于PBCL从业者社区的发展而导致的大学变化。

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.
