- Title
When Learning and Change Collide: Examining Student Claims to Have "Learned Nothing".
- Authors
White, Justin; Pinnegar, Stefinee; Esplin, Pat
- Abstract
The article focuses on the resistance to learning by students in active-learning courses in the U.S. The ambiguity and complexity inherent in authentic problem-based courses have been a struggle for first-year students even as problem-based learning (PBL) continues to be popular and effective. Author Carol Dweck has suggested that innate and unchangeable capacities are possessed by people with a fixed mind-set while situations and experiences that can stretch one's capacities are embraced by those with a growth mind-set.
