Finally the words of one student are echoed in endorsing
PBL as an effective teaching and learning strategy: Over all I think PBL has limitless possibilities in the middle school classroom. This paper (course) has inspired me and given me a much better understanding of curriculum integration involving science and technology. Together we researched an issue of
personal interest, the heating and resulting sweating when riding with backpacks attached. We collaborated in how we might solve this problem, designing and completing science experiments in an attempt to record air flow patterns and measuring body sweat in order to design a backpack that would allow for cool air to be circulated between the body and the backpack frame. I trusted my partners to responsibly carry out their roles
to a high standard, while they trusted me to do the same. Once we pooled our resources, I could make sense of, and get a fuller picture of where we were heading. Williams and Williams (1997) describes this process as independent studies coming together for group discussion, where “synthesis and application” (p.
94) takes place among group members. Problem based learning is intrinsically motivating. Part of this is due to wanting to do your best for your team, and part is due
to personal satisfaction of seeing the investigation progress and make sense. According to Putnam (2001), “…the need for knowledge and skills becomes the goal for learning” (p. 5) (Student E, 2008).
