Read the article written by Mills and Treagust (2003) titled: Is problem-based or project-based learning the answer to “chalk and talk”?

Conduct desk research, also known as secondary research, and compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of problem-based learning. Defend problem-based and project-based learning as interactive pedagogy. Provide details and examples of learning resources as well as your personal experience. Be sure to cite sources using APA format.

Your paper must include: 

• An introduction
• Relevance (sources and information)
• Understanding of Problem/Project-based learning.
• Implications for Problem/Project-based learning.
• Conclusion

Submit a written paper that is 3 pages in length, exclusive of the reference page, double-spaced in Times New Roman font which is no greater than 12 points in size. The paper should cite at least 2 sources independent of the article provided here in the reference section. ensure that your work is real with practical experience.

• This paper addresses potential connections between the development of 21st century skills and an instructional model used by the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS). That model is referred to as the BSCS 5E instructional model. This paper draws upon a report for the National Institutes of Health, Office of Science Education (Bybee, 2009).

• This article defines what a discrepant teaching event is and compares and contrasts discrepant science events and discrepant teaching events (Longfield, 2009). Examples of discrepant teaching events useful in mathematics and social studies are also provided. The article concludes with a discussion of the utilization of an “inquiry stance” to teaching as a way to address students’ misconceptions of discipline-specific concepts.

• This paper discusses the application of problem-based and project-based learning to engineering education and examines the difference between them. It reviews some examples of where they have been used to date and discusses the effectiveness and relevance of each method for engineering education.

• This article reports research findings showing that problem-solving process is a key component to integrate STEM disciplines; teachers in different STEM disciplines have different perceptions about STEM integration and that leads to different classroom practices; technology is the hardest discipline to integrate in these cases; and teachers are aware of the need to add more content knowledge in their STEM integration (Wang et al., 2011).
