PROJECT-BASED-LEARNING: OUTCOMES, DESCRIPTORS AND DESIGN

Project-based Learning for Experimental Design Research

Project-based learning has been illustrated to be an effective means of teaching students many of the "real-world" issues that arise during the course of engineering projects. However, project-based learning tends to have a product-centric focus. This paper describes an experimental run of a project-based learning program with a researchoriented focus, named "X-PBL." In this project, four colle...

Design of Idenation Support System for Project Based Learning

Kanazawa Technical College (KTC) is an intensive 5-year educational institution focusing on experiential learning. Project Based Learning (PBL) has been positively introduced into the education of KTC. The brainstorming that uses Post-it by the member of the group is often perform to an initial stage of PBL. It is more effective in this brainstorming that not only the student but also the perso...

Constructivist Project Based Learning Design, a Cybernetics Approach

We approach the progress dynamic of project based learning from a systems theory point of view. We model open loop PBL mathematically and analyze its robustness and show its weakness. Then we propose an effective model of conducting complex PBLs by dividing the whole PBL process into sub processes of lower complexity and introduce feedback for each one. In the course of this paper, we show how ...

Transition Potential Modeling of Land-Cover based on Similarity Weighted Instance-based Learning Procedure and Its Implication in the REDD Project Design Document

  Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) is a climate change mitigation strategy employed to reduce the intensity of deforestation and GHGS emissions. In recent decades, drastic land use changes in Mazandaran province caused a substantial reduction in the amount of Hyrcanian forests. The present research based on objectives of REDD projects paid to identify of fore...
