Focus:
A forthcoming issue in AEQ is on Problem-Based Learning. PBL is a pedagogical
strategy, which, at its very center, uses authentic problem-based cases situated
in a specific discipline to foster experiential learning, and collaborative
dialogue. With its emphasis on content learning and rich problem-solving, PBL’s
goal is to scaffold learners’ thinking, enhance motivation to learn, and support
self-directed learning. Problem-based learning has had a major impact on the
thinking and practice of numerous disciplines ranging from medicine, law, business,
and education. It involves all aspects of instruction including teaching,
facilitation, curriculum, and assessment and requires commitment and support at
all levels of administration. Manuscripts in problem-based learning are invited
that consider conceptual, practical, qualitative, quantitative or mixed method
research and works-in-progress or future directions. Papers from pre-school,
postsecondary and work-place use of PBL reflecting different cultural and
disciplinary contexts are welcome.
Who May Submit:
Manuscripts are welcome from researchers, teachers, practitioners,
administrators, faculty, and graduate students co-authored with their professor.
Please identify your submission with keyword: PBL
Submission deadline:
