Problem- and project-based learning as a driver for changing institutional practices: a partnership perspective

This special issue of the Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education is an opportunity to showcase the research collaboration between Aalborg University and Danida Fellowship Center on how the implementation of PBL principles in the international learning programmes with international stakeholders can facilitate changes in institutional practices, with participants leading these changes as well as providing new direction for PBL research . The special issue presents articles from the ongoing research collaboration and some practice notes summarizing the key findings, recommendations and framework for educational design implications / application in workplace learning interventions.

As a research group, we propose to produce six articles and two practice notes for a special issue. The strength is that the articles have a common problem, are related to each other and cover different important perspectives. The authors are from Aalborg University, the Danish Fellowship Centre, Gulu University and TDCD, the Pan-African Training Centre.
