About this title

Synopsis

Interest in problem-based learning continues to flourish worldwide; however, there have been relatively few resources to help readers examine the complex issues relating to facilitating its implementation of problem-based learning and the ongoing development of staff, students and the curriculum.

Facilitating Problem-Based Learning explores a broad range of issues about facilitation, in particular: understandings of facilitation that have emerged from the author’s recent re-search and ways of equipping and supporting staff in terrestrial and virtual contexts. It also questions how students are assessed and suggests ways of preventing plagiarism in problem-based learning.
