Student Diversity in a Problem-Based Learning Setting
En del af serien Research in Higher Education Practices Series
This booklet presents theoretical perspectives that may help educators understand how student diversity can be both a driver and a barrier for learning in PBL-based settings in higher education. It also provides recommendations and pedagogical tools on how to develop PBL as a framework in teaching and supervision in order to raise learning potential in diverse student groups.
The findings are from a research project, which took place at Aalborg University in 2016-2017, and illustrate how student diversity may poses a challenge to educators, when it affects the learning environment in the classroom negatively, and cause frustration and confusion among the students, rather than igniting curiosity and exploration. The main claim in the booklet is that the potentials of student diversity for learning can be realised if students develop skills in handling differences in collaborative problem identification and -solving.
