Let’s get real! Bridging PBL project work and working life – a case study from Organizational Learning

Description

In the second part of the session a case study will be presented, which was undertaken following the merging of PBL activities and authentic case work with a regional company. The specifics of this project were that the confrontation with the authentic cases happened early on in the study program (i. e. in the second semester), with students being challenged to generate relevant answers to authentic questions of the company, based on relatively little previous knowledge.
The course was evaluated in a quantitative pre-post research design focusing on students’ attitudes towards the learning experiences, as well as their self-perceived competence development throughout the course. Additionally, interviews with both students and representatives of the company were conducted.
In the session results from the mixed-methods analysis will be presented to shed light to the question, which factors facilitate successful learning in a format bridging PBL with challenges from a real work environment.
