Problem-Based Learning in Science Education

<p>Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered learning approach that was developed in the sixties within the scope of medical schools. As it was proven to be successful other disciplines have gradually adopted it. Science education was not an exception to this but no work has been published on this issue so far.</p><p>This reprint of the Special Issue Problem-Based Learning in Science Education: Achievements Pitfalls and Ways Forward is the first printed volume focusing on PBL in science education. It addresses the use of PBL for teaching and learning science in the classroom outdoors and in online settings as well as educating science teachers on teaching through the PBL approach. It offers systematic reviews and empirical studies and fills an existing gap in the specialized literature on science education.</p>
