Where Might Sand Dunes be on Mars? Engaging Students through Inquiry-based Learning in Geography (2008, background): “An enduring challenge of PBL is convincing and encouraging students that this more demanding and apparently more time-consuming approach is worthwhile (Spronken-Smith, 2005; Chappell, 2006; Pawson et al., 2006).”
Incorporating Problem-Based Learning Strategies to Develop Learner Autonomy and Employability Skills in Sports Science Undergraduates (2008, background): “Spronken-Smith (2005) reported that students perceived greater development of problem-solving and analytical skills following a PBL module in research methods.”
Problem-based Learning in Geography: Towards a Critical Assessment of its Purposes, Benefits and Risks (2006, background): “More recently it has been suggested in a New Zealand-based study that “although it is relatively new in geography, one could argue that the technique is ideally suited to this discipline since, by its very nature, geography is already interdisciplinary — one of the main ingredients of a PBL approach”
