Problem-Based Learning: An Inquiry Approach details the three phases of PBL-the teacher-directed approach, the teacher-shared inquiry, and the student-directed inquiry. Teachers can use these innovative problem-based learning (PBL) models to help students think about complex, intriguing situations; draw conclusions; and transfer learning into real-life scenarios.

Filled with sample units, insights for using PBL in the multidisciplinary classroom, and assessment techniques, this valuable resource will help students transfer learning beyond the walls of the classroom.

"Inquiry is a natural process, one people engage in from the time they begin to experiment with language."

-Author John Barell
