Last OECD Education Working Paper explores problem-based learning

The OECD has published a new working paper on “Promoting skills for innovation in higher education: a literature review on the effectiveness of problem-based learning and on teaching behaviours”. The research investigates the development of skills for innovation in higher education, notably through problem-based learning that seems to effectively develop transversal skills such as critical thinking, behavioural skills or creativity among students, who are also better than others at applying this knowledge to real-world situations.
