“…What is “the ice” in a PBL session? The ice represents the uneasiness and tension of working with unfamiliar team members for the first time; yet, there was an implicit expectation for effective collaboration during PBL sessions. , Four hurdles to effective student collaboration have been recently identified: lack of collaborative skills, free-riding, competence status, and friendship . Conducting the bER games prior to PBL sessions helps break the ice by providing the first-year students a shared learning experience working through challenges that build rapport and mutual trust among team members while overcoming barriers to effective student collaboration.…”

Educational escape rooms are immersive puzzlebased games that rely on teamwork skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication. This paper describes the development of desert island themed escape rooms in a blended learning environment using physical and online puzzles that were hosted on Genially. The blended escape rooms were designed to introduce terms and concepts in pharmaceutical chemistry of drugs to first-year students while breaking the ice by fostering rapport, camaraderie, and teamwork at the beginning of their first-semester problem-based learning (PBL) session. Game designs, pitfalls, logistics, and costs involved in developing these blended escape rooms are described in detail. Student feedback indicated that the games were effective in reviewing information related to the PBL and helped them feel more confident before starting the PBL session.

The usage of PBL is one of the heated topics in the education area. The present paper reviews the application of PBL group learning mode for improving the oral competence of English-majored students in China. After reviewing previous literature, this paper found that speaking classes of English majors, in current Chinese higher education, have long been characterized by vague teaching content, poor classroom quality and weak student learning outcomes. Besides, the group learning model under the PBL teaching method has great importance for the efficient development of the speaking classroom. However, there are still scant studies in the analysis and construction of the group learning model for the speaking classes of the English major, which is a research gap. Through reviewing a large amount of literature, conducting in-depth analysis and summarizing, the paper explores the application of the PBL group learning model in the speaking classes. The study shows that this learning model can avoid the drawbacks of the traditional speaking classroom, substantially improve students' speaking ability, promote the quality of teaching and put forward higher teaching requirements for teachers. Therefore, the effective construction of the PBL group learning model is essential for speaking learning in current Chinese higher education.
