Article | Problem-based Learning: Composing in the classroom as a music learning challenge
Maria João Vasconcelos, a PhD student at INET-md, co-authored with Helena Caspurro and Nilza Costa, recently published the article "Problem-based Learning: Composing in the classroom as a music learning challenge" in the Electronic Journal of Music in Education - Revista Electrónica de LEEME.
This article, which results from the author's doctoral thesis research, deals with Problem-Based Learning (PBL), a student-centered teaching model that privileges cooperative and challenge-based work, the teacher as a guide or "facilitator", and formative assessment processes. What characterizes PBL, what data exists on its application, and what links can we establish with musical learning to systematize its implementation and study through composition, reflect the questions that motivate this literature review, concluding, among other things, that it can function as a guiding model for planning, action, and musical and educational research, particularly through composition.
