Summary

Many institutions worldwide have embarked on using problem-based learning (PBL) for educational reform and curricular innovation. This book captures the art and science of PBL from the perspectives of pedagogy, psychology and technology. The collection in this book provides international perspectives on how PBL practices can enhance thinking. The discussions are structured along three themes. The first is the psychology of cognition, metacognition, and self-regulated learning. The second is the idea of making thinking and mind visible through dialogue and inquiry. The third theme is the use of technology, which is not only a tool but also an important catalyst to enhance problem-based thinking. The contributions come from an international pool of highly experienced and qualified PBL practitioners who are themselves champions and pioneers of PBL projects in their own institutions. The most up-to-date book on PBL from the perspectives of pedagogy, psychology and technology. Drawing on the wealth of knowledge from international experts this comprehensive edition provides academics and educators with key ideas and insights into using PBL and innovating PBL curricula. Academics from different disciplines as well as educators and teachers will find this book a refreshing and timely contribution to enhance thinking and learning.
