Abstract

One of the challenges in implementing a Puzzle-based Learning approach is taking a love of puzzles, or a desire to make students think in a more open-ended fashion, and making it work in a classroom environment. Many courses reward students for sitting quietly and, when prompted, answering a set of well-defined questions with rehearsed answers built from what their teacher has said. When we describe an effective teaching approach to support Puzzle-based Learning, we are not just talking about buying a book or finding some problems, we are talking about a complete change in the way that many of us think about working with our students.

If your institution supports interdisciplinary classes we encourage you to explore that option. We have had very good experience with Puzzle-based Learning classes involving a mix of students from different majors (e.g., Information Systems, Computer Science, Psychology, Statistics, Cognitive Science, Economics, and Physics).

Students do background reading/watching before coming to class and most of class time is spent working problems to strengthen and assess one’s understanding of the material.

In a puzzle-of-the-day context, an instructor needs to be comfortable with students reasoning out an answer before the instructor!

In the educational context, a rubric is set of performance standards for a given assignment or course, represented as a set of guidelines to illustrate what type of performance corresponds to a particular grading level.
