Summary:

This book . . . is organized in terms of goals rather than chapters. In goal 1, we present various strands of research as well as different models of PBL [problem-based learning] that address why interdisciplinary, problem-based learning approaches are important. In Goal 2, we look at what our model is by examining the features of PBL-CD [Problem-Based Learning as Codevelopment]. Goal 3 describes our model in more depth, focusing on the codevelopment process--how teacher teams codevelop PBL curricula and how teachers and students engage in codevelopment throughout a problem-based unit. /// Goals 4 to 7 contain Profiles developed by author teams working on specific problem-based learning units. The author teams represent diverse learning contexts: some urban, some suburban; some focused on learning for gifted students, others on learning for students at risk; some projects within 1 school, some involving multiple schools; some projects with technology, others without. /// We wrote this book for practitioners who, as part of their own professional growth, are interested in examining learning environments and codeveloping curricula that are both interdisciplinary and problem based...
