About the conference
Taking students to a new learning paradigm is the promise of many emerging technologies. Highly demanded with the educational disruption provoked by the COVID-19 pandemic, new learning models, gadgets, and tools are at the center of the debate. Artificial intelligence, robotics, video platforms, 3D immersive and modeling software, virtual and augmented reality are examples of these new trends.
Are they “new dress” for the old empiricist paradigm, where students have a passive role in the learning process? Or are they committed to reinventing education through collaborative, and active learning, fostering innovation, social justice, and collective well-being?
The conference theme “PBL, active learning, and technology: a fad or the future of education?” speaks to the challenges faced worldwide in higher and basic education. Reflecting and debating these ideas and principles are the goals of the PBL2022 Virtual International Conference.
