Description
Owning Your Project-Based Learning is a user-friendly, vividly illustrated guide designed to help undergraduate students and their instructors fully realize the power of project-based learning (PBL). This book complements a wide range of discipline-specific materials, guiding college students to identify topics of interest, conduct thorough research, and tackle real-world problems through thoughtfully designed projects. It is an indispensable resource for undergraduate instructors, enabling them to focus on content while providing students with the necessary tools to collaborate with community partners and effectively manage project development. Whether assigned by a professor or developed with teams or community partners, PBL offers enriching, hands-on educational experiences across various disciplines. As the demand for PBL at the undergraduate level increases, this essential guide addresses college-specific needs – from the academic research process to the critical roles of distribution, publication, and multimedia in career readiness – ensuring comprehensive support for both students and faculty.
Critic Reviews
“Owning Your Project-Based Learning is a book that will help students to have a successful experience creating a major academic project. Its step-by-step flexible approach offers management systems for taking an initial idea from inception through development, research, and testing to completion. Students critically examine the factors contributing to real world problems as well as how to best address the needs of stakeholders. By learning design principles and rhetorical strategies, students craft proposals and develop digital presentation skills. The text includes several examples of how other students solved problems while working with teams, community partners, or prototype users. Effective design, writing, and presentation skills are valuable for professionals in any field.” —Nancy J. Mack, Professor of English at Wright State University, USA, and author of Engaging Writers with Multigenre Research Projects: A Teacher's Guide
