PHOTON PBL (Problem-Based Learning)

工程-工程技术(58)8个以多媒体为基础的以问题为基础的学习(PBL)案例研究和教学材料正在创建，以补充以前由国家科学基金会资助的成功的光子课程。案例研究积极地让学生参与到真正的问题解决过程中。来自16个机构的高中和社区大学光子技术教师正在招募和培训，以便在课堂上实施、评估和评估PBL案例研究。项目团队正在研究光子案例研究在工程技术员教育中的效果。教育学专家正在与教学设计师合作，开发和测试一种学生评估方法，该方法将与PBL问题情景相结合。许多阿尔法测试学校的合作伙伴所在的社区有大量代表不足的群体。通过与行业、专业教育和技术协会的协会传播实地测试的案例研究和研究结果，对广大受众产生了影响。在光电子技术课程中使用PBL案例研究有助于培养一支能够在全球竞争激烈的工作场所中竞争的劳动力队伍。

Engineering - Engineering Technology (58)Eight multimedia-based problem-based learning (PBL) case studies and instructional resource materials are being created to complement the successful PHOTON curriculum previously funded by NSF. The case studies actively engage the students in a genuine problem solving process. High school and community college photonics technology instructors from 16 institutions are being recruited and trained to implement, assess, and evaluate the PBL case studies in their classrooms. The project team is conducting research on the efficacy of the photonic case studies in engineering technician education. Pedagogy experts are working with instructional designers to develop and test an approach to student assessment that will be integrated with the PBL problem scenarios. Many of the alpha-testing school partners are in communities with large numbers of underrepresented groups. Dissemination of the field tested case studies and the research findings through associations with industry, professional education and technology associations impact a broad audience. Use of the PBL case studies in photonics technology curriculum assist in preparing a work force that can compete in a globally competitive work place.
