“…For instance, although preservice teachers in the PO section were connecting the case topics to previous learning experiences, unfamiliarity with effective problem-centered learning processes paired with a lack of an active facilitator resulted in an experience that could have been much more productive. Because preservice teachers need to meaningfully consider multiple sources of inspiration during their ID efforts, this finding suggests that while preservice teachers are working with limited experiences and knowledge of how to best initiate the process (which is characteristic of other novice problem solvers; see Tawfik et al, 2017), CBI discussion provides an appropriate and effective medium to help them do this-when specific facilitation strategies are implemented.…”

“…Although both sections received similar prompts, these prompts were used differently by preservice teachers to complete the design process. Without a facilitator and left to their own devices, PO preservice teachers in this study focused on getting the task done and failed to attend to all aspects of the design decision-making process-an important aspect of effective problem solving (Tawfik et al, 2017). By considering possible reasons for the limited use of prompts in the PO section, we gain a better understanding of how specific CBI discussion facilitation strategies might influence how preservice teachers approach the ID process.…”

Case-based instruction (CBI) provides a way to vicariously engage preservice teachers in their future teaching realities. However, little research has considered how different discussion facilitation strategies relate to the development of preservice teachers’ instructional design (ID) skills. We used an embedded mixed methods case study research design to compare differences in how preservice teachers approached the ID process when engaged in one of two strategies: discussions guided by pre-constructed prompts and a facilitator and discussions guided by pre-constructed prompts only. Findings revealed that preservice teachers who participated in discussions guided by a facilitator analyzed case problems more deeply, as they identified more sources of inspiration to guide their design choices; considered learner, environmental, and content characteristics more often; and reported spending more time understanding case problems. While most preservice teachers believed they could apply what they learned from participating in CBI to their future profession, preservice teachers receiving prompts only were more positive about the discussion aspect of CBI.

“…In PBL programs for marketing education, simulation exercises provide experiential learning opportunities where students can apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations. These exercises can take various forms, such as virtual simulations, role-playing games, or computer-based simulations [35,36]. In these environments, students can analyze market data, adjust their strategies based on simulated consumer feedback, and observe the outcomes of their decisions over time.…”

“…In addition, the emphasis on inquiry-based learning in PBL contributes to their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Students in PBL programs are tasked with asking questions, conducting research, and exploring multiple perspectives to arrive at well-informed solutions [36]. This process encourages curiosity, independent thinking, and a willingness to challenge assumptions.…”

The marketing industry is rapidly evolving, necessitating educational programs to adapt and equip graduates with relevant skills and knowledge. This systematic literature review with bibliometric analysis (SLRBA) explores the integration of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in marketing education. PBL is an instructional strategy that empowers students to solve real-life problems by integrating theory and practice, thus fostering critical thinking and decision-making skills. Our review synthesizes data from 71 sources, highlighting the definition of PBL, strategies to promote its implementation in marketing education, and the benefits and challenges associated with this approach. The findings indicate that PBL enhances student engagement, provides hands-on experience, and prepares students for real-world marketing challenges. Strategies such as using social media, serious games, e-learning, and feedback mechanisms are discussed for their effectiveness in promoting active learning and student participation. Despite its advantages, PBL faces challenges such as resource intensiveness, student resistance, and information integrity issues. This review underscores the importance of PBL in bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, ultimately preparing marketing students to meet the demands of the industry. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research and best practices for implementing PBL in marketing education.

“…As connections between parts of study material increase, the role of holistic methods of learning and methodological support of the educational process also increase. The methodological culture cannot be transferred in finished form, as it is constantly being changed and reassessed in the process of problem solving (Clausen and Andersson 2019;Tawfik et al 2019). In this regard, we note the importance of communicative qualities (Hursen 2019), as well as organizational and methodological aspects of the educational process (vanOostveen et al 2019).…”

Transdisciplinary approach to improving study motivation among university students of engineering specialties

In pedagogy, motivation is considered more important than ability. This study aims to identify, and provide a rationale for, ways to increase of study motivation among the university students of engineering specialties. The creation of conditions for the subject to predict results of his activity, as well as for the manifestation of self-dependence and creativity, contributes to ensuring students' motivation and to the development of their search activity, that is "critical inquiry" of useful information. To implement these conditions, we suggest extending transdisciplinarity in education and integrating it with all forms of the educational process, and establishing more effective contacts (both formal and informal) between teachers and students. Such integration is based on integrity, dialectic method, mental activity and integration of the laws of nature. We see the role of this extension of transdisciplinarity as combining heterogeneous knowledge by content (education) and methods (development) in conjunction with improving the quality of organizational and pedagogical support of training sessions (upbringing).
