An Introduction to Problem-Based Learning in the Humanities - new version
In March 2023, the Centre for Humanities Education supported a work-shop on problem-based learning. Problem-based learning is an approach to teaching that has long been used in the fields of law, medicine and STEM. At the outset of a module, students are presented with a real-world problem, case study or scenario from their discipline and work together to find a solution, usually culminating in a final product (report, presentation, exhibition etc.) Organised by Dr Selena Daly (UCL SELCS) in collaboration with Jesper Hansen (UCL Arena), this workshop showcased how problem-based learning techniques can be applied to the humanities classroom, and featured case studies of modules across the Faculty of Arts and Humanities led by Elettra Carbone (SELCS), Geraldine Horan (SELCS), and Ranjita Dhital (Arts and Sciences).
