Slide 2: Teaching Adjustment First, problem based learning like other active learning instructional techniques, requires faculty to give up some control of the classroom to harness the energy of peer teaching and student’s personal interests. We have to get comfortable with being the guide on the side, not the sage on the stage with every interesting question and answer. Slide 3: Problem Design and Scenario Appropriateness Second, good problems or questions are the right mix of real-world importance of interest to students balanced against the evidence-based, highly contextual, client and environment-specific answers often needed in real-world professional practice. Our students love big picture easy answers, but we all know the real world is complex, and contextual. The problems we propose should not be too general, so students miss the learning objective. The problems should not be too specific, so students have room to refine the question and a specific solution. We need a good general problem, with importance and some initial context to inspire the hard work of learning, problem solving, and applying knowledge. Slide 4: Questions and Level of Difficulty In other words, this good general problem must be a challenge in the difficult application of biomechanics knowledge, that students can also narrow a little to answer successfully. Some hints for picking this level of difficulty are: -Target knowledge application that is difficult for many students. In biomechanics this focuses on performance improvement, injury reduction or remediation, equipment, or rules. -Look for problems with surprising or counterintuitive solutions. -Look for current issues or professional controversies. For example, running shoes are again of high recent interest with barefoot, minimalist, and maximalist shoes. Asking if different running shoes matter is a to general questions. Getting more specific like: What running shoes may best, for what biomechanical outcome, in who? Is a better question—both appropriate and with plenty of difficulty. Slide 5: Guidance In problem based learning the instructors job is mostly related to soliciting and answering questions. First, encouraging questions from students. Then posing follow-up guestions to guide students in all four tasks of the problem based learning process. In the evaluate/understand the problem task the instructor can: -Ask specific question on the question and solution sought to check if it is aligned with the leaning objective -Check their knowledge and understanding of the knowledge or data needed -Check on group dynamics and accountability of the three to seven personalities in the group In the planning task the instructor can: -Check on understanding of the process or steps involved and provide reminders -Help with finding relevant knowledge -Check on how students are evaluating knowledge and building consensus The instructor will also provide guidance in the last two tasks of presentation and preparing a revision of the project. Slide 6: Class Time Class is not the time to do research and reading. The instructors strives to keep the focus on brainstorming, collaboration, organization, and building consensus toward the analysis, evalution, or synthesis learning objective. When you think about it, all these challenges are just like the challenges we face using other instructional strategies. Getting our students to apply biomechanics in new and dynamic contexts is difficult. We hope you plan and try out a problem based learning activity to discuss and develop with your International Society of Biomechanics peers.
