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，用于使教学策略发生变化，并随后将课程重新设计为在商业环境中设置的综合、以评估为导向的学习体验。PBCL基于尚未解决的当地行业问题情况，需要学习者在知识的基础上，参与到这种情况中来建立深度的能力，并反思他们自己的思维和过程。这一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专业知识的进步。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NSF资助的项目中学到的经验和华盛顿大学纳什维尔州立技术学院LIFE中心的约翰·布兰斯福德的想法和投入的基础上，与WGBH合作，制作和传播视频、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经验丰富的从业者培训团队，通过使更广泛的从业者更容易获得基本原则来扩大PBCL的有效性。评估了指导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.
