Faculty Development Camp for Project Based Learning

Project Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching and learning method in which students actively solve real-world problems and gain knowledge and skills. The teaching experiences, materials, and methods for PBL have diversity and are not shared with universities. We present the Faculty Development (FD) camp for PBL, in order to share them. The FD camp provides the place of discussing the PBL to the participants, in order to solve subjects of PBL. We hold three FD camps with Open Space Technology (OST), which is a simple way to run productive meetings. Evaluations in questionnaires show that most of the participants have good impressions in the FD camp with OST. We mainly learn that the contribution of the FD camp is to build the facultycommunity.
