楼主提及的是 欧美流行的教育模式 简称PBL (Problem-based learning )
Learning is more effective when you become involved in solving real world problems. Learning is about ‘what’ and ‘ how’ we learn, rather than ‘how much’ we remember.
Very often we obtain vast amounts of knowledge and but fail to truly understand what it means. The quality of your understanding is closely related to the quality of your engagement with learning tasks and your collaboration with others.
An instructional method that challenges students to "learn to learn," working cooperatively in groups to seek solutions to real world problems.
PBL has been used extensively in many well-established universities such as University of Delaware, Universiteit Maastricht, University of Newcastle, University of Queensland, Monash University and the National University of Singapore. Our own research and studies of these practices have shown PBL to be effective in helping students to be resourceful and self-critical thinkers and team players.
