Practising what we preach? Contradictions between pedagogy and practice in the move to problem-based learning

Abstract

This chapter explores the challenges facing individual lecturers as they make the transition from traditional teaching to problem-based learning. This case study highlights the conceptual, epistemological and pedagogical challenges such a shift presents and suggests ways in which academics can be supported through this process in order to improve student learning. It is of significance to academic developers and practitioners.
