The main focus of the workshop is on the systematic approach of crafting complex problems for PBL. To get the full benefit from this workshop, participants should have implemented Active Learning & Cooperative Learning.

Workshop Learning Outcomes

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• justify the need for PBL
• explain different PBL models and the reasons behind them
• undergo the Cooperative Problem Based Learning (CPBL) process and explain the significance of each step
• craft problems for CPBL to attain outcomes

Part 2: Design Facilitation & Implementation (5-6 November 2022)

This workshop is the continuation of the Problem-based Learning (PBL) Problem Crafting workshop. The focus of the workshop is on the systematic approach of design, plan and implementation of PBL environment for a typical classroom. Participants should have a crafted problem ready that can be used in PBL so that they can proceed to design and plan their implementation using the Cooperative Problem Based Learning process. To get the full benefit from this workshop, participants should have implemented Active Cooperative Learning.

Workshop Learning Outcomes

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• design a constructively aligned PBL environment
• plan a systematic implementation using the CPBL framework

Part 1: Introduction to engineering and STEM education research  

Part 2: Preparing research proposals in engineering and STEM education

Part 3: Data analysis in engineering and STEM education research

Part 4: Publication in engineering and STEM education

A special symposium will be organized for the workshop participants to present their work and receive constructive feedback from the community of practice in engineering education.

Part 1: Introduction to Engineering and STEM Education Research

In the first part of the workshop series, the participants will be exposed to various areas and examples of research in engineering education. Using  a constructivist approach, the participants will be guided to formulate their research problem, prepare research problem background and define their individual research aims. At the end of this workshop, the participants will be able to find relevant previous research that can guide them in determining the individual potential research area that they want to contribute in.

Date: 20 – 21 February 2023

Part 2: Preparing research proposal in engineering education

This second workshop aims to guide the participants in preparing their individual research proposal in engineering education as a continuation from the research problem identified in the previous workshop. The participants will be introduced to research paradigms, methodology, various research methods and some data analysis techniques. Participants are encouraged to conduct the research after the proposal is presented at the end of this workshop.

Part 3: Data analysis in engineering education research

In this workshop, participants will be guided to analyse the data that they have collected after the second workshop. Both quantitative and qualitative data analysis techniques will be introduced with hands-on activities to further grasp the techniques. The participants will be asked to analyse their own data during the workshop so they can acquire help from the trainers and facilitators.

Part 4: Publication in engineering education

The final part of the workshop series is designed for the participants to document their research that they developed from Part 1 of the workshop series. The participants will be introduced to various journals and conferences that can become the potential avenues for them to publish their work. They will be guided to prepare their own publication based on a general flow of article writing for engineering education research. They will be exposed to the editorial processes of some high impact journals in engineering education to enable them to review their article and other articles in engineering and STEM education.
