Johnson, Michael and Hayes, Martin J (2016) A comparison of problem-based and didactic learning pedagogies on an electronics engineering course. The International Journal of Electrical Engineering & Education, 53 (1). pp. 3-22. ISSN 0020-7209
This paper presents an evaluation of a problem-based learning methodology versus a more traditional laboratory-based approach to teaching tutorials for electronics modules in undergraduate engineering classes at the University of Limerick, Ireland. First-hand qualitative and quantitative comparative feedback from students is assessed for the same module across successive cohorts using both learning pedagogies. The analysis suggests that a problem-based learning methodology offers significant benefits in an electronic engineering setting when compared with a more traditional didactic method.
