You’ve heard a bit about PBL, but maybe you’ve
never heard of Investigative
Case Based Learning or the use of cases in science and math classes.
The
skeptics and curmudgeons in your department constantly grumble
that all this
inquiry stuff is a fad and that the good old ways of lecture and
test are the
only way to really prepare students in science. Your mission, should
you
decide to accept it, is to find the evidence and examples to convince
them that
this form of active learning is just what your students need.
The Mission
Divide into 4 teams, composed of teachers and graduate
students. Within each team decide on who will approach each question.
Gather data for 1.5 hours and report back. Prepare a “poster” on
what you have discovered and what you still want to know.
1. What is PBL? How is it implemented? What kinds
of resources are needed to do PBL?
2. What is Investigative Case Based Learning? How is it implemented?
What kinds of resources are needed to do ICBL? How does ICBL
differ from just cases?
3. What are WebQuests? How do they differ from cases and problems?
4. How does the role of the teacher change with these methods?
How does the role of the student change? What kinds of skills
do students learning these methods develop?
5. Find cases or PBL problems that have already been written
that could be used
in your discipline. What are the characteristics of good problems
and cases?
6. What kinds of products, assessments and rubrics can be used
to evaluate
learning with these methods?
7. What kinds of schools and disciplines are using these methods?
How does
their experience inform what you can do?
8. How do these methods compare with traditional instruction?
What are the
strengths and weaknesses of these methods?
9. How might one evaluate problems and cases as a learning tool?
10. How long have such methods been in use? For the historians.
