Abstract
Problem-based learning (PBL), a teaching/learning approach that relies on ill-structured problems to provide opportunities for student learning, can involve technology as a tool for acquiring, manipulating, and communicating information. In this session, we outline the professional development activities we have used over the last three years to support teachers' implementation of problem-based learning in their classrooms. Based on teacher interviews and PBL implementation data we describe strategies that have worked, as well as those that haven't, and delineate steps taken to confront the various barriers teachers encounter as they attempt to incorporate learner-centered pedagogies within traditional classroom practice.
