Learning Community and Weak Tie in PBL

As a Summary of the Research Group for "Academic-Social Cooperation Based PBL"

Abstract

The essence of PBL is that it is learning by community form, and synchronization pressure etc. within the group and is expected to work effectively for learners. Academic-Social Cooperation based PBL is an attempt to introduce a "weak tie" by a third party to a learning community consisting of learners and teachers (tutors).
However, academic-Social Cooperation based PBL appear companies and other entities become community members.
Through research group, we conducted hearings, questionnaires, etc. on students, faculty members and on the social side who have PBL experience, and organized the expectations of mutual roles, expectations of PBL, etc. From there, it became clear that the need for "a strong learning community" is being constructed for weak ties to work.
