We encourage individuals, schools, and institutions to submit proposals that address the conference theme: PBL for a sustainable world, blending active learning, technology, and social justice.

Submissions are welcome from scholars, students, practitioners, and professionals across the many disciplines that contribute to the study, development, and practice of Problem-Based Learning/Project Based Learning and Active Learning Methodologies.

Students from K-12 schools as well as universities will have a unique opportunity to showcase their experiences and projects using active learning methodologies. Accepted proposals for this special track will demonstrate how learning is happening in real-world contexts.

Proposals can be related to the tracks and perspectives described below, in a wide variety of formats of presentation and interaction:

TRACKS

– Health and Medicine
– Social Sciences and Humanities
– Engineering and Applied Sciences
– Teaching Education (Higher and Basic)
– Professional Development
– Student’s perspective in K-12 or Higher Ed classroom experiences
– Makers and doers
 

PERSPECTIVES

– Project-, Challenge- and Team-Based Learning
– Construction of Engaging Problems

In addition, the conference is organized to emphasize both, research and practice of PBL.
So, the summaries sent for the conference must include if it is either a research o practice theme. Both will be examined by the scientific committee. Summaries accepted by the committee will be published as part of the Proceedings of the PBL 2023 Congress. 
 

For the conference presentations there are different formats:

- Panel Discussion / Symposia 
- Workshops (by invitation only)
- Oral presentation of investigations and experience demonstration

Paper presentations are reports about research and/or the implementation and application of PBL or Active Learning Methods. They can be submitted individually or by an institution with four complementary papers. This are 90-minute sessions, in which twenty minutes should be reserved for questions and discussion.

- INTERACTIVE POSTER AND PROTOTYPE PRESENTATIONS
Posters are visual and graphic representations and Prototypes are original models of products, processes, and public policies that can be tested prior to confirm its functionality.
