Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered instructional strategy in which students collaboratively solve problems and reflect on their experiences.

Page 10: Learning Theory

Learning is driven by challenging, open-ended problems.

Students in small collaborative groups.

Teachers as facilitators.

Page 11: Learning Theory

Inquiry Based Learning

Page 12: Learning Theory

Inquiry-based learning’s core premises include the requirement that learning should be based around student's questions and new knowledge should be built based on previous information.

Page 13: Learning Theory

Emphasizes constructivist ideas of learning.

Learning proceeds best in group situations.

Teacher does not communicate knowledge, but facilitates.

Topic, problem to be studied, and methods used to answer this problem are determined by the student and not the teacher.

Given what you know of educational theory so far, and Inquiry Guided Instruction, what are the reasons you might be inclined to use Inquiry Guided Instruction? How might you incorporate this into your teaching? (How) Would your active learning incorporate Inquiry Guided Instruction principles?

Service Learning

Page 16: Learning Theory

Think of a time you were involved in a service (or other) project....

Page 17: Learning Theory

Service-learning is a method of teaching, learning and reflecting that combines academic classroom curriculum with meaningful service and reflection.

Conversation Theory

Page 20: Learning Theory

At this point we’ve covered a number of different concepts. Let’s take a minute to discuss the relationships between them.

Page 21: Learning Theory

Conversation Theory is a framework that explains how interactions lead to "construction of knowledge."

Page 22: Learning Theory

A focus on the relationships among the concepts.

Explicit explanation or manipulation of the subject (e.g., use of teachback)

Individual's differ in their preferred manner of learning relationships (serialists versus holists).
