Session Objectives• Identify the three main characteristics of Problem
Centered teaching and learning
• Explore four simple strategies to incorporate Problem Centered Instruction into daily lessons
• Consider the correlation between Problem Centered Instruction and Educator Performance
Post-Session Objective• Use the strategies discussed to create or transform
a single lesson, activity, or worksheet into a Problem Centered learning experience

Who We Are:
• The Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA) is a 3 year residential High School for academically advanced students in Illinois
• IMSA’s Center for Teaching and Learning offers programs, content, and professional development opportunities for educators and students throughout the state of Illinois and beyond
![Page 6: Problem Centered Teaching by Tomorrow](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012718/61b0ff78cdd61a7d29723874/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
IMSA’s Core Competencies
Competency Driven
Inquiry Based
Problem Centered
Integrative
Competency-driven learning experiences are those which enable students (1) to acquire
strong bases of disciplinary content knowledge and skills, key ideas of the disciplines, and
connections among these ideas; (2) to use the ideas, processes, and tools of the disciplines for acquisition and generation of new knowledge; and (3) to apply knowledge when addressing
issues and solving read world problems
Inquiry-based learning experiences are those which promote analytic thinking, knowledge generation and application, and construction of meaning through
mindful investigation driven by compelling questions that have engaged,
or have the potential for engaging, the learner’s curiosity
Problem-centered learning experiences are those in which learners grapple with complex,
meaningful and open-ended problems, and work toward
their resolution
Integrative learning experiences are those which forge meaningful
connections of concepts, constructs, and principles within
and across academic subjects and real-world situations

Overall Goals and Student Benefits to PCL• Presents material in a realistic, applicable
way
• Encourages students to take charge of their own learning
• Takes advantage of students’ natural curiosity
• Encourages ‘learning how to learn’
![Page 11: Problem Centered Teaching by Tomorrow](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012718/61b0ff78cdd61a7d29723874/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Tiered Levels of PCL
Lesson Based- Replacing a rote memorization/repetition/short answer/cookbook lab with a real life problem that allows students to
apply the concept
Semester Based: Full
problem ‘guided’ immersion
Unit Based- 4-6 week immersion
Topic Based- Mastery of one concept

1. Make the Content Relatable
“When are we ever going to use this??”
![Page 15: Problem Centered Teaching by Tomorrow](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012718/61b0ff78cdd61a7d29723874/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Find the area of a circle

Find the area of a PIZZA
![Page 17: Problem Centered Teaching by Tomorrow](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012718/61b0ff78cdd61a7d29723874/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
PIZZA PARTY!!!Our class is having a pizza party to celebrate _____________. Principal/Teacher/Parents offered to pay for the pizza, but only if we can guarantee they’re getting the best deal. It is up to you to contact local pizza places to get prices and sizes, and determine which pizza place gets you the most pizza for your $$$.

2. Structure: Less is More
Let the students guide the process
![Page 19: Problem Centered Teaching by Tomorrow](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012718/61b0ff78cdd61a7d29723874/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Pizza Party Problem
• Call Local Pizza places
• Ask for the size (diameter) of their pizzas
• Ask for their prices
• Determine how to find the best ‘deal’• Price per area of full pizza?
• Price per area of each slice?
• Present findings (with evidence)• Poster
• Argumentative paper
![Page 21: Problem Centered Teaching by Tomorrow](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012718/61b0ff78cdd61a7d29723874/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

3. Be a Resource, not their Answer
Key
Never give a student a direct answer
![Page 23: Problem Centered Teaching by Tomorrow](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012718/61b0ff78cdd61a7d29723874/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Before you answer a question:• Could they find it in their
notes?
• Could they find it in a textbook?
• Have they asked a neighbor?
• Is it something they could research online?
• Could they find a video on the topic?
• Have they made any attempts?
• Have they read the directions thoroughly?
• Could you brainstorm ideas?
• Have they listed what they already know about the topic?
• Have you given them a hint?

“What do YOU
think??”

4. If Possible, use a problem to
Introduce a topic
Once students are comfortable with Problem-Centered Learning, use problems to introduce a topic
rather than assess it
