Implementing Project Based Learning Pedagogy in Concrete Industry Project Management

Integration of Mobile Learning and Project-Based Learning in Improving Vocational School Competence

“…The results of this data conclude that the use of the developed model has a moderate impact on competency improvement. Other research states the impact of PjBL on student performance reveals increased understanding of student perception (Torres, Sriraman, Ortiz, & Torres, 2017). With collaborative learning assisted by online activities can develop the ability of teachers (Biasutti & El-deghaidy, 2015).…”

Educational Theory-Integrated Construction Industry Training: State-of-the-Art Review

“…The incorporation of educational theory into workforce training has been noted in industries such as information technology (e.g., Gaikwad and Bharathi, 2018), computer science (e.g., Antonis et al, 2011), ecology (e.g., Parkinson et al, 2003), and law enforcement (e.g., Michael, 2003), to name a few. A growing body of research has focused on education of construction management and civil engineering undergraduate and graduate students (e.g., Jensen and Fischer, 2006;Harfield et al, 2007;Kamardeen, 2014;Cho et al, 2015;Lee et al, 2016;Holt et al, 2018;Talley and Torres, 2018;Poon, 2019;Torres et al, 2019;Kim and Irizarry, 2020); however, few studies have focused on construction industry workplace training (Detsimas et al, 2016). The proven outcomes associated with formalized educational theory warrant a comprehensive review of the current state of construction workforce training that integrates educational theory in its design.…”

Developing a Request for Qualifications Activity to Integrate Construction Topics at the Sophomore Level

“…In PBL, learning occurs around projects, which should replicate situations (and projects) professionals should encounter in their fields [8], [16]. In an attempt to help with the definition of project-based learning, previous research has identified certain characteristics that would be included in a PBL curriculum: projects as drivers of the course content and student discovery; projects should instigate an investigation; projects should encourage student autonomy; and projects should be an authentic representation of the professional environment [16].…”

“…Within those student-centered methods, project-based learning (PBL) seems naturally a good fit for instruction in undergraduate construction education, given that the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry is based on the development of unique projects [6]. In addition, PBL has been increasingly used in construction education curriculum with positive results [7], [8], [9]. However, researchers caution that merely having projects within courses does not necessarily equals the use of PBL [8].…”
