Welcome to Problem Based Learning – pedagogy and philosophy   

Description:

Still more PhD projects are investigating and developing problem based learning. This course offer students of problem based learning an introduction to the background – the history and philosophy of the pedagogy. In the course, we will address issues such as ‘where did PBL come from?’, ‘What are the main ideas behind PBL?’ and ‘How can we do research in PBL?’. The students will be asked to prepare a short presentation of their own project and used this as a starting point for a more general discussion of their own projects relation to PBL.

Important information concerning PhD courses
 We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 5,000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately three months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
