Abstract
The purpose of this presentation is to describe results of a research study conducted to examine teachers' and students' experiences with student-chosen technology-enhanced problem-based learning (PBL) units. According to Simons, Klein, and Brush (2004) problem-based learning "combines learning theories about problem solving with the case study approach in which students are presented with problems embedded in relevant, resource-rich contexts" (p. 214). PBL units are considered student-chosen when the students are able to select their own problem they wish to investigate from personal experience or awareness. The presentation will include a description of the problem-based learning units, as well as information related to teacher strategies and student experiences as they relate to planning, implementing and evaluating the student-chosen technology-enhanced PBL units. Implications for practitioners who design student-chosen problem-based learning environments will also be discussed during the presentation. The integration of technology throughout the unit will be highlighted.
