Exploring Problem Based Learning in schools

本研究旨在探讨以问题为本的学习对校本科学、技术、工程、数学(STEM)教育的潜在贡献。该项目期望产生关于确定这种PBL方法的原则如何支持中小学教师增加学习机会和培养STEM扫盲的新知识。该项目积极地将教师定位为询问他们的实践的研究人员。预期的项目成果包括与教师一起制定的教学框架，以及在一系列学校环境中捕捉以问题为基础的学习的实践插图。潜在的好处包括对教师、学校领导层和寻求加强STEM教育的部门的支持。

This project investigates the potential contribution of Problem Based Learning to school based Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) education. The project expects to generate new knowledge about how the principles defining this PBL approach can support primary and secondary teachers to enhance learning opportunities and build STEM literacy. The project actively positions teachers as researchers interrogating their practice. Expected project outcomes include a pedagogical framework developed with teachers, and illustrations of practice capturing problem based learning in a range of school settings. Potential benefits include support for teachers, school leadership and sectors seeking to enhance STEM education.
