Exploring future instructional designers’ perceptions of and practices for online problem-based learning

• In Event: DDL- Perspectives of Online Learning

Short Description

In this sequential mixed-methods study, we explored future instructional designers’ online Problem-Based Learning (PBL) perceptions and practices. Qualitative data were collected with semi-structured interviews; quantitative data were collected with surveys. Results showed a distinction between theoretical epistemic beliefs and technology integration. Further, face-to-face and online PBL were perceived to be equally effective; but there was a significant difference between usefulness, feasibility, and expected frequency of designing PBL for each environment. Suggestions and implications were discussed.
