| Summary: | Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Language Case Crafting (PBL-LcCRAFT) Model is a new
PBL case design guide for language practitioners to craft PBL cases specifically for English
Language teaching and learning. This paper describes five significant components in this new
model that complement the 21st century learning skills. Data illustrated in this paper were
drawn from an action research project on PBL case design training and model for English
language practitioners. The four steps in the action research approach namely plan, act,
observe and reflect were closely followed within two cycles of the research procedure. Data
collection tools were observation checklist and focus group interviews with a group of
English Language practitioners. The collected data were then analysed using content analysis
for emerging themes and the findings were used to develop the new model (PBL-LcCRAFT).
The outcome of this study is the new model which is a guide for crafting PBL cases
specifically for languages. This paper discusses five interrelated components in the new
model (Ill-structuredness, Language in-use, Researching, Reasoning and Reflecting) which
language practitioners considered as significant components in crafting language cases. The
key findings presented here are the five interrelated components in PBL-LcCRAFT that have
assisted the practitioners to craft cases and the symbiosis between these five components with the 21st century skills (i.e. knowledge, creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and
communication skills). |
