Problems-First Learning

Ted McCain,

About this book

The educational pattern of lecture, listen, and forget is deeply ingrained in schools. In this user-friendly resource, author Ted McCain offers a compelling alternative that flips lessons on their heads: the problems-first instructional method. Using this method, you will fully engage students by first introducing a problem and then empowering learners to solve it using creativity, innovation, collaboration, and other essential skills.

Use this resource to help students achieve higher levels of thinking:

Identify the need for instructional change in the current educational system.
Consider the transferable skills students need for solving problems in the workplace and in life outside the classroom.
Study the benefits of a problems-first teaching style.
Learn to implement problems-first methods into existing classrooms.
Understand how this method teaches seven essential 21st century skills highly desired in the modern workforce.
Discover how to introduce role-play into the classroom and broaden lessons to encompass whole-mind learning and boost student engagement.
