Information Science Reference Guide to Integrating Problem-Based Learning Programs in Higher Education Classrooms: Design, Implementation, and Evaluation

This book is intended to inform and educate college/university faculty about how to design, implement and evaluate their own PBL program in the undergraduate and graduate educational learning environment. The objective of this 'how to' book is to provide college/university faculty with ways to establish, use and evaluate a successful problem based undergraduate or graduate program. There is an increase in businesses and schools that are using some form of problem-based learning on a daily basis. By educating undergraduate and graduate students with this service delivery model they will be better prepared to enter the work force and perhaps increase their marketability.This can be used as professional development to learn how to use PBL in undergraduate and graduate courses. Also, college faculty can model to their students how to use PBL in their own classrooms in the future.
