Developing My Perspectives On Scaffolding And Problem-Based Learning: A Retrospective View, Brian R. Belland
Developing My Perspectives On Scaffolding And Problem-Based Learning: A Retrospective View, Brian R. Belland
Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-Based Learning
In this paper, I describe the iterative development of my perspectives on scaffolding and problem-based learning through interactions with other scholars and research. Such influences include doctoral experiences, funded projects, and exposures to research from a variety of traditions.

Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-Based Learning
Current theories and models of education often argue that instruction is best administered when knowledge is situated within a context. Problem-based learning (PBL) provides an approach to education that has particularly powerful affordances for learning disciplinary content and practices by solving authentic problems within a discipline. However, not all implementations of PBL have been equally successful at fostering such learning, and some argue that this form of instruction is beyond the capabilities of novices. We revisit the theoretical foundations of PBL and call on the theoretical foundations of case-based reasoning (CBR) to help us identify the reasons many PBL implementations …
