Problem and Project Based Learning Geography Education and Pedagogy Innovative Teaching Methodologies in Social Sciences

Abstract

This paper suggests that geographers could profitably employ problem‐based learning (PBL) in the preparation of students for fieldclasses. Following a brief review of recent issues and contributions to teaching and learning on fieldclasses, the paper examines the characteristics of PBL and its application in other disciplines, especially medicine. It is argued that PBL encourages active and deep learning in students and can readily be applied to fieldwork preparation. A case study of such an application to a second‐year undergraduate fieldclass is given.
