Workshop: Building up the FLOW in your PBL tutorials
Hüseyin Sakalli, a lecturer at FASoS, has developed a new card game: Flow. This card game condenses all of the mechanics of a PBL session, including the CCCS principles, into a deck of cards.
If the flow of a PBL session is present, the session basically seems to run itself. However, as a tutor or as a student finding the “flow” of Problem Based Learning (PBL) can be quite challenging. The students should know what is expected of them and they should ideally have the motivation to “run the show”, allowing the tutor to focus on the content of the class and finetune group dynamics when necessary. In practice, however, dialling in the machinery of the PBL system and creating the right kind of group chemistry can be considered a form of art. Every few weeks, tutors receive new courses with new students and new obstacles to finding our flow.
By learning how to play this game during your tutorials you will be given a tool that will enable you to find your flow. If you want to know more about this game, please sign up for this workshop, where you will experience the card game yourself.
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Interpret the impact of Flow to foster CCCS learning in a tutorial setting,
- Use Flow to stimulate targeted aspects of CCCS learning in a tutorial setting,
- Supervise a game of Flow in their tutorials.
