Using PBL to teach the university mission.(problem based learning)
Abstract
Faculty at institutions of higher education are charged with modeling, embedding, and advancing the mission of their institution both in and outside of the college classroom. A course embedded assessment with the objective of teaching the university mission to students in a professional graduate program is described. Results suggest that problem-based learning has the potential to be a pedagogy of formation and that the university mission can be learned and articulated by students.
