Reflections on project work and problem-based learning
TLDR
In this paper, the authors define and compare project-organized learning and problem-based learning both at a theoretical and a practical level, but there is a need for clarification outlimng differences and similarities for both institutions practising and institutions planning to implement some of these educational ideas.Abstract:
SUMMARY It is difficult to define and compare project-organized learning and problem-based learning both at a theoretical and a practical level, but there is a need for clarification outlimng differences and similarities for both institutions practising and institutions planning to implement some of these educational ideas. Both project work and problem-based learning emphasize the learning process instead of the teaching process; however, the focus on different aspects of the learning process forms a fruitful base for mutual inspiration and development—like a creative couple challenging the learning process of tomorrow.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors relate key findings from studies of the development of expertise to engineering education, summarize instructional practices that are consistent with these findings, and provide examples of learning experiences that are associated with these instructional practices, and identify challenges to implementing such learning experiences in engineering programs.
Problem Based Learning
TL;DR: Problem-Based and Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an instructional method that challenges students to "learn to learn," working cooperatively in groups to seek solutions to real world problems.
