Problem-Based Learning
PBL is a way for students to learn how to conduct research
Based on an ill-defined problem– Scenarios with several aspects, some of
which are irrelevant, some causal; critical thinking is developed as students determine the difference

PBL – 2
PBL usually takes place over span of weeks or months
Process simplified to fit the time allotted
Greenwald: Problems have three characteristics:– Initial State– Goal State– Set of actions designed to attain Goal State

PBL - 3
To find a solution, students must:– Define facts as laid out in scenario or known
from experience– Create a problem statement– Determine what other information is needed

Basic Questions
What do we know?
How can we define the problem?
What further information do we need to find a solution or solutions to the problem?

sections taught by TAs– Professor of Record, designer of course and
author of textbook: Dr. Karen Anderson– Different topic each semester:
Spring, 2009: Poverty as an international problem
Fall, 2009: The Environment

Background - 2
Pilot done as a workshop in Fall, 2008
Groups of 4-20 students
In following semester, 32 sections, ~25 students each, came through for instruction session over 3 week period
Instruction session mandatory; classes brought to library for instruction

Format
Show a short (2-3 minutes) video illustrating the problem
Work with students on the exercise:– List facts– Develop problem statement– Determine information needed– Construct search– Run search in catalog and database
(Academic Search Complete)

Choosing the Video
Used source on YouTube because that is where the students are
Short; 3 minutes about right; students can easily absorb the information
Choose video from a reputable source, such as BBC
May decide to choose video which is non-professionally made; consider content

Student Comments Pilot
“The video was helpful in being an example of not knowing much about a topic and then deriving a problem statement. From the problem statement, students are able to search relevant topics that support their research. I feel the current method of teaching this library research worked well for me.”
“The video I think helped grab and hold everyone's attention.”

Student CommentsPilot
“Knowing how to find books was really good. Also librarian who taught students was very kind. I wanted to find books in the library, but I didn't do that because I didn't know how to find it. I think having workshop is the best way to help students.”
“I thought this format worked just fine. Got to the point and helped me realize how to really research. Don't change a thing. If students would just come to workshops, that would help tons. I learned a lot.”

Student Comments – Spring 09
What was the most important thing you learned today?– Learning to be critical of the information that is
not given, thus research the topic– Narrowing down results for research– how to find more and better and reliable
resources– The leg-work and questions you ask before
starting your research are key
