| Summary: | The major concern of this paper is to advocate the integration
of PBL strategies in classroom instruction as a way of promoting active
learning. It is undoubted that the benefits of problem-based learning (PBL)
are numerous. In the sciences, PBL has been well integrated in the
curriculum. This research reports of an experience of integrating problembased
learning in an introductory Sociolinguistics course for 60
undergraduates of a Bachelors of English programme through a semester
that ran for 14 weeks. A focused group interview and questionnaire were
used to find out the perceptions of the students undergoing the hybrid PBL
course. The findings of this study reveal that students generally enjoyed the
PBL approach and found that they had little choice but to become active
learners. Some challenges faced by the learners were also highlighted.
These findings have implications for the integration of PBL in the field of
social sciences |
