CALL FOR PAPERS

Visitors Workshop 2023

In overall, the workshop aims to introduce both the shared AAU problem- and project principles and the unique pedagogical models practiced in the distinct educational contexts of the university, thus highlighting both unique contextualization and shared PBL principles.
During the workshop, participants have the opportunity to engage with researchers, academic staff and students by visiting different departments, and faculties.

After the workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Describe Aalborg University’s foundation of unique problem-based and project-based pedagogical models and its shared PBL principles.
  • Compare different problem- and project pedagogical models across the different institutional practices, namely at engineering and science, the social sciences, the human sciences, and health, whilst considering its different educational contexts and disciplines.
  • Reflect on which ways the Aalborg models and practices can inspire change towards more problem-oriented, student-directed, collaborative teaching and learning practices.


An interdisciplinary team, composed by researchers and experts from IAS-PBL (UCPBL, SHARE, KILD and HEALTH PBL) runs the workshop.

 

The cost per participant is 600€. The price includes access to a collection of resources, department visits, lunch and coffee for the two days.
