A Case Study of PBL for Computer Network Course

Abstract

Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered teaching and learning model, in which teachers play a guiding and inspiring role, students need to cooperate with each other to solve problems. The computer network course covers a wide range of knowledge and needs to integrate theory with practice. It is very suitable for PBL teaching. In view of the general situation of teaching and learning for teachers and students in China, i.e., the passivity of teaching and learning, this paper attempts to apply PBL to the teaching of computer network course. Finally, the effectiveness of PBL is evaluated through examination and questionnaire for students.
