This document proposes a study to determine if the effectiveness of project-based learning (PBL) depends on context or individual traits. The study would have students learn two concepts - EEG data analysis and neuroanatomy - using either PBL or traditional methods. Students' attention, intelligence and motivation would be measured before learning. Performance would then be assessed on a follow-up quiz involving interpreting EEG and lesion study data, to see if PBL leads to better outcomes for certain topics or types of students.

- 1. TAR Project IdeaControversy as to whether PBL is effective. Studies have shown both outcomes. Look at between vs within subject factors that may affect amenability to PBL-based learning.Does the effectiveness depend on context (learning data analysis methods versus learning fact-based relationships anatomy)?Sometimes, PBL is tested in a very self selected group (i.e. med students vs K-12 classroom). Are there are systematic individual traits that predict amenability to inquiry-based learning methods?Test in classroom setting (Systems Neuroscience)Take pre-learning measures: attention, fluid intelligence, motivationHave students learn 2 concepts (EEG data analysis and neuroanatomy/lesion studies) using either PBL or traditional methods (answering multiple choice questions) in a homework project.Assess performance on a follow-up quiz that involves interpreting data from a study that involves EEG (for the EEG data analysis) and lesion studies (patient case study) using rubrics.
