From On-Campus Project Organised Problem Based Learning to Facilitated Work Based Learning in Industry

摘要

The pedagogical concept of Project Organised Problem Based Learning (POPBL) has been implemented since 1974 at Aalborg University. With take-off in the experiences from this concept we have developed methodologies to integrate productive engineering and engineering education. We all know that the best way to learn and understand a theory is trying to see whether you can apply the theory. Engineering is problem solving - by applying results from engineering research. Therefore it is obvious to try to combine the fundamental learning process and engineering problem solving. Recently we have developed a methodology for continuing education integrated into the daily tasks called Facilitated Work Based Learning (FWBL) - mainly based on the same way of thinking. POPBL and FWBL as well as the link between these to methodologies will be presented in this paper.
