Project Title: Equipping Teagasc teachers to teach using a Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach

Overview

Within Teagasc education, there should be greater opportunities to focus on new teaching and learning approaches over the coming years.   The Teagasc Education Strategic Vision 2050 process highlighted the need for a more innovative approach to teaching and learning for the future and recommended that Teagasc introduce PBL approaches.  The project will identify elements of Teagasc Education delivery best suited to a Problem Based Learning Approach as well as develop support resources to assist those delivering using PBL.
