Problem-based Learning and Creativity by Oon-Seng Tan (PDF)

Description

Problem-based learning (PBL) is an educational innovation for greater diversity and engagement in learning. PBL diversifies learning by catering for interdisciplinary knowledge application and multiple perspectives in problem solving. It also enhances engagement through more independent learning, peer learning and teamwork in problem solving with possibilities of future learning technologies. This collection on PBL and creativity provides another quantum leap by linking the quest for novelty, creativity and innovation with PBL.

This volume captures examples and ideas of the interlink of PBL with creative ways of knowing, creative processes, creative learning environments and creative pedagogies.
