Open LibraryAbout this book
"Problem-based learning (PBL) is a concept borrowed from the medical field. It is a training strategy in which students, working in groups, take responsibility for solving professional problems. The instructor, instead of lecturing or leading a discussion, creates a hypothetical situation for the students (called a project) and then takes a back seat as an observer and an advisor while the students work out a solution. Pertinent problems can be the hiring of a new teacher, the creation of an AIDS education program, or the construction of a school improvement plan." "Edwin M. Bridges has spent the last five years developing, field testing, and refining PBL for use in educational management classes, and this book is the record of what he has learned. Using student essays, detailed descriptions of actual projects, data from PBL in the medical field, and his own observations, Bridges illustrates how PBL teaches leadership, management, and communication skills to administrative students.
