| Yhteenveto: | Final report from the project 'Exploring Problem-Based Learning pedagogy as transformative education in Indigenous Australian studies' funded under the ALTC priority area of curriculum renewal. The project was carried out over a two-year period and sought to understand the ways in which teaching and learning in Indigenous Australian studies can transform tertiary education as a pathway to social justice and empowerment for Indigenous peoples. The study took place in five key centres: The University of Queensland, Monash University, University of Technology, Sydney, Charles Darwin University, and The University of Newcastle. The original aim of the project was to evaluate the effectiveness of 'Problem-Based Learning' (PBL) as transformative education in Indigenous Australian studies at tertiary level. Our study focused on PBL because this method is used in many Indigenous Australian studies classrooms in preference to other approaches. However, despite its possibilities for transformative teaching and learning, there has been little research on the application of PBL in the Arts and Humanities. Few researchers had previously explored PBL as transformative education and there has been very little study of the effectiveness of this approach in relation to Indigenous education globally. The project has three key outcomes. |
