The Aalborg Model - Problem-based and Project-organized Learning

This is a quite unique book, as the problem-based and project-organized models are not primarily reflected upon on the basis of educational theories, but rather upon the basis of the theories and methods of the various university programmes. Thus this book contains a profession-based approach to the further development of the problem-based and project-organized educational practice at the university. This profession-based approach, which has gradually developed at Aalborg University, shows that the educational ideas are alive and well at the decentralised departments, and that the educational model is integrated in relation to the various professions. This is a development which takes time – it takes time to integrate the educational ideas and philosophies and to develop models – but it also demands reflection and experience to discuss and develop the project-based educational approach on the basis of both professional and educational argumentation.
