One-day, one-problem at republic polytechnic

Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the One day, one problem process at Republic Polytechnic (RP) from the viewpoint of an organization implementing PBL across an entire institution. We describe how RP designed its programmes, curriculum, timetabling, staff development, campus and physical infrastructure to support our commitment to nurture learning in an environment that develops problem-solving process skills and a life-long learning attitude. A typical day for students and facilitators is also described, together with examples of problems, student discussion, student learning artefacts, process of facilitation and student assessment to provide the reader with a picture of the practical implementation of One day, one problem.
