Problem-Based Learning Crosses Disciplines
A new educational journal, The Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning (IJPBL), edited by Peggy A. Ertmer, Associate Professor of Educational Technology, and Alexius Smith Macklin, Associate Professor of Library Science (both at Purdue), was launched March 2006. This quarterly published, peer-reviewed journal seeks to challenge, stimulate, and provoke additional research in the area of problem-based learning (PBL).
IJPBL offers a forum for problem-based learning research across disciplines. This scholarly journal publishes the most relevant information about problem-based learning pedagogy and is the first of its kind in this exciting field. Articles inside IJPBL offer readers instruction and insights into the best new teaching and learning practices in a variety of disciplines. IJPBL is filled with challenging and practical research that may be used by educators in numerous disciplines to implement problem-based learning in their own classrooms. IJPBL will also be of great help to all those who wish to use problem-based learning more effectively in their K-12 and post-secondary classrooms.
IJPBL is published quarterly by Purdue University Press in both a paperback and online version. Additionally, the premier addition may be accessed free-of-charge on the University Press website. URL:.
