My closest experience to a case-based class was a graduate class at Virginia Tech on Decision Analysis. It was more of a flipped course in which we had to prepare for the material and were handed a related challenging problem … Continue reading →

  As I ponder on the different formats of learning, I find the fascinating characteristics of different learning formats and…

I began this week by reading “Case-based Learning” from the Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning. As I read, I reflected on the number of case-based and problem-based assignments that I have been assigned as a student or led as

In continuing my quest to show people how vast the communication discipline is, I present case-based learning. Before I start, it should be noted that not all communication classes use case-based learning, and sometimes it is not appropriate. However, even communication undergraduate studies are not centered around memorization and tests, but rather focus on how …

This week in Contemporary Pedagogy, we were tasked to investigate case/problem-based learning. I was curious to learn about the similarities and differences of case-based and problem-based learning.  I discovered case-based learning (CBL); students develop analytical thinking and reflective judgment by reading and discussing complex, real-life scenarios (Foran, 2001).  This methodology is used in counselor education. Continue reading “A Real-World Problem: The Impacts of COVID-19 on Mental Health in College Students”

I am going to start this post off with a YAAAAAAAS! I am super excited to be writing about problem based learning and case-based learning because this is my bailiwick! As both a student of education and a counselor, this is the bread and butter of how we learn our trade – particularly in counselorContinue reading “Inhabiting the Liminal Spaces”

This week’s readings on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) was really interesting to me as someone who is intrigued by pedagogical practices, however this is a concept that I think I would struggle with as a student and potentially as an instructor. One of the parts of PBL that I know I would struggle with stemmed from […]

While I believe that Case-Based or Problem-Based learning can be a valuable way to engage students in the classroom, it also seems that there are some challenges that instructors must be prepared to navigate if they intend to implement this learning style. My initial reaction to some of the readings was to wonder how peopleContinue reading “Case-Based Pedagogy”

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a pedagogical approach and curriculum design methodology often used in higher education and K-12 settings [Savery, J. R., & Duffy, T. M. (1995)]. In this method, the teacher exposes the students to “challenging, open-ended problems with … Continue reading →

Implementing active learning has proven that it has a positive impact on student engagement and learning. Reading about the benefit of the Problem-Based Learning approach has assured me of what school of architecture has given me. The cased/problem-based pedagogy is driven by challenging, open-ended problems of multiple right answers designed on making students work as …
