Abstract
All educations at Aalborg University has since 1974 been rooted in Problem Based Learning (PBL). In 1999 a new education in Industrial design was set up, introducing Design Based Learning (DBL).
Even though the two approaches have a lot in common they also hold different understandings of core project based learning issues, which has caused a need to describe and compare the two models; in specific the understandings, approaches and organization of learning in project work.
The PBL model viewing the process as 3 separate project stages including; problem analysis, problem solving and project report, with focus on problem solving through analysis. Design Based Learning viewing the process as series of integrated design spaces including; alignment, research, mission, vision, concept, product and process report, with focus on innovative ideation though integration.
There is a need of renewing the PBL to update the educations to meet today’s competitive global society. In order to create an informed basis for discussing and updating the historic approach to project work at Aalborg University, this paper will try to unfold and compare PBL and DBL and the competences they create through team based project work.
The paper will exemplify how projects work is organized, supervised, staged and reported. It will investigate the practical organization of the teamwork and process as well as the dominating mindsets and methods used during the process. Comparing the two models concerning the learning aims the competence they create.
