Abstract
Problem-based learning (PBL) as a student-oriented methodology is based on the collaborative solving process of authentic problems providing loose guidance from the teacher and strong self-acting and initiative from the students during the implementation phases. In this paper, the results of an experiential type workshop aiming at introducing the PBL methodology to teachers are discussed. Teachers with various vocational specialties were participated in the workshop gaining experience with the method, focusing on educational video production, and successively invited to implement acquired skills in their school settings. Results indicate the significant positive correlations between instructors’ skills and methodology effectiveness. Both teachers and students report willing to utilize PBL to future work. Finally, the skills acquired in the workshop are attributed to both the PBL effectiveness and instructors’ skills.
