Primes¶
- Constructivist Learning
- Constructivist principles pervade contemporary educational and organizational practice across multiple sectors, with problem-based learning (PBL) standing out as a thoroughly studied implementation; Hmelo-Silver (2004) reviews PBL outcomes and design principles, building on the taxonomy Barrows (1986) introduced for medical education.
This sourceOriginal taxonomy distinguishing PBL architectures by problem-format authenticity and student-direction, framed for medical education (co-cited at D48-049 — link added).

- Inquiry-Based Learning
- T4: Driving Phenomenon Selection vs Curricular Coverage. Effective inquiry instruction anchors investigation in meaningful driving phenomena — real-world, multi-faceted questions or situations that can sustain multi-week investigation, a design challenge Barrows (1986) characterized in his taxonomy of problem-based learning methods as the central determinant of whether inquiry instruction develops disciplinary reasoning or merely covers content.
