Teaching and Learning in Communication Sciences & Disorders, v8 n3 Article 1 2024
Instructors in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) have used problem-based learning (PBL) for a variety of purposes across academic levels. Problem-based learning offers a framework for considering and including student strengths. In this paper, the authors describe the development of a PBL with specific utility to an introductory CSD course, explain how student strengths were considered in the problem development, and provide evidence of student strengths in outcomes of the PBL. This investigation followed 70 undergraduate students registered in introductory CSD courses across two universities as they engaged in a semester long PBL. A thematic analysis of 217 student solutions to the PBL was conducted. Evidence of two primary means of strengths inclusion, funds of knowledge and student interests, were found in the students' solutions. The authors provide considerations for designing a strengths inclusive PBL in CSD.
