The Power of Problem-Based Teaching
Barbara J. Duch,
Susan E. Groh,
and Deborah E. Allen, eds. |
This classic text combines practical advice with sound theory to provide a uniquely stimulating introduction to the practice of university teaching. The book has a simple message: to become a good teacher, first you must understand your students' experiences of learning. Out of this grows a set of principles for effective teaching in higher education.
Quoted from the back cover (London: RoutledgeFalmer, 2003.)

Problem-based learning is a powerful classroom process, which uses real world problems to motivate students to identify and apply research concepts and information, work collaboratively and communicate effectively. It is a strategy that promotes life-long habits of learning.

Creating Significant Learning Experiences
L. Dee Fink
|
Have three decades of integration and multicultural initiatives in higher education delivered a better education to all students? Are majority and minority students reaping similar benefits, specifically in predominantly white colleges? Do we know what a multi-cultural campus should look like, and how to design one that is welcoming to all students and promotes a learning environment?
(Quoted from the back cover (Sterling, VA: Stylus, 2002.) |
Dee Fink poses a fundamental question to all teachers: “How can I create courses that will provide significant learning experiences for my students?” In the process of addressing this question, he urges teachers to shift from a content-centered approach to a learning-centered approach that asks “What kinds of learning will be significant for students, and how can I create a course that will result in that kind of learning?”
