Artificial intelligence (AI) and data visualization are increasingly used in learning and education. In this study, we used Microsoft Teams for online lessons, incorporating problem-solving learning in a university course on data visualization that included tools like Microsoft Power BI Desktop, Tableau Public, and NodeXL. We designed several problem-based learning topics to demonstrate that integrating problem-based learning into teaching is beneficial and provides quality education. We used a quasi-experimental design, arranging experimental and control groups. The research results were verified through a t-test, showing a significant difference between the experimental and control groups' post-test scores.

Background problem-based learning (PBL) is a well-known teaching method which promotes self-directed learning (SDL) in many medical programs worldwide. This study aimed to examine the perceptions of Sudanese physiologists on applying PBL in teaching their physiology courses or sessions. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 82 physiologists (70% of the total Sudanese physiologists). The data were collected using questionnaires that included questions about attitudes towards, effectiveness of, and barriers to PBL implementation. The internal reliability of the questionnaire (over 0.7) was good, as measured by Cronbach's alpha. The Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, multiple linear regression and correlation (Spearman) analysis were performed to assess various factors associated with physiologists' perceptions of the research domains. Results Physiologists generally had a positive attitude (overall score percentage of 76.9 +/- 23.97%) towards PBL compared to other teaching methods and had good perceptions of the effects of PBL (overall score percentage of 77.1 +/- 25.13%) on the student learning process. Furthermore, physiologists had a notable knowledge gap about common challenges affecting PBL application (overall score percentage was 56.93 +/- 19.43%) at their relevant institutes. Physiologists' perceptions of common factors affecting PBL application were significantly related to participants currently working inside or outside Sudan (p value = 0.010) and applying PBL at their relevant institutes (p value = 0.008). In addition, the attitude score was significantly associated with the current workplace (governmental/private) classification (B= -14.083, p = 0.031). Additionally, attitude toward PBL had a significant positive correlation with age (r = 0.233, p = 0.005) and the perception score of PBL's effects on students' learning processes (r = 0.788, p < 0.001). Conclusion In general, physiologists have good attitudes towards and perceptions of

PurposeThis study explored the effectiveness of a problem-based learning (PBL) teaching model on the WeChat public platform for radiation oncology residency training *** and methodsThe WeChat PBL program was initiated in 2019. The study recruited student participants, on a voluntary basis, who were in their first and second years of standardized training in radiation oncology. We selected classic and trending issues in radiation oncology as the two main teaching topics. Students in the PBL group searched for relevant literature, summarizing PowerPoint presentations or academic speeches on specific issues published on the professional WeChat public platform after an in-depth review by teachers. The final national standardized training examination scores for resident physicians were used to evaluate teaching effectiveness. The graduation scores of the PBL and non-PBL groups were compared, and a stratified analysis was conducted based on the year of participation to assess the teaching effectiveness of this model. Moreover, questionnaires were administered to evaluate students' *** the 36 students who joined the study in 2019, 16 (44.0%) voluntarily joined the PBL teaching group. Nine students started teaching PBL in their first year of residency, accounting for 47.4% of that year, and seven started in their second year, accounting for 41.2%. The average graduation scores of the PBL group were superior to those of the non-PBL-focused group for the same grade. The rate of high scores among students in the PBL group (56.3%) was higher than that of students in the non-PBL group (25%). Specifically, first-year residents who joined the PBL group had an average score of 92.3 +/- 2.2, significantly higher than their non-PBL counterparts, who scored an average of 88.6 +/- 4.6, showing a statistically significant advantage (p = 0.042). All students were satisfied with the PBL WeChat teaching and would recommend the PBL WeChat course to others

Online learning environments have been used intensively during the COVID-19 pandemic and are frequently preferred alternative learning environments afterward. On the other hand, the lack of adequate learning applications for online environments negatively affects teaching. The main purpose of this research is to develop problem-based learning (PBL) activities for online learning environments within the scope of Physics course and to reveal the application processes. The study was carried out with 97 students in the fall semester of the 2020-2021 academic year. PBL applications were carried out in online learning environments with the interaction of online groups of 5-7 people through the Zoom program. A qualitative research approach and critical action research model were used in this research. The data were obtained with the help of rubric form, interview, peer assessment, peer group assessment, and documents and evaluated with content analysis and descriptive analysis. In the process of PBL activities in online learning environments, students took an active role as a part of their learning processes, interacted constantly with their peers, and demonstrated high-level success in their learning competencies by fulfilling their responsibilities. In online learning environments, there is a need for application examples where all students can demonstrate their process skills and student-centered assessment-evaluation applications that will determine the application outputs.

The present study was to teach metabolic syndrome (MetS) disease through a scenario developed according to the problem-based learning (PBL) approach in the biochemistry class. The study was designed as a single group pre-test and post-test research. The study group consisted of first-year students (N = 183) from the nursing department within the health sciences faculty of a state university in Turkey. The study findings indicated that PBL increased students' understanding and learning performances about MetS. It may be suggested that those learned by the scenario developed according to the PBL are effective in learning about the MetS.

The problem-based learning (PBL) methodology has been applied in a set of chemistry courses at the University of Barcelona to determine the main factors that are relevant to a satisfactory application of this educational approach in different contexts (from undergraduate to master subjects). The exceptional situation resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has also forced us to adapt this methodology from the traditional face-to-face modality to an online version. Thus, the resulting compara t i v e study has allowed us to identify the main aspects of each subject, student background, and modality used, which are relevant to a satisfactory application of PBL. In general, the application of the PBL methodology using Moodle and BBCollaborate as live teaching platforms has a positive impact on student learning and satisfaction. Interestingly, although the face-to-face implementation is preferred to the online modality, students evaluate positively the application of online PBL with respect to the traditional online teaching. Thus, the intrinsic characteristics of PBL, which enhance the learning motivation with suitable problems to be solved in groups, makes this required collaborative work a key point to facilitate student learning.

This paper explores the introduction of problem-based learning (PBL) in Biomedical Engineering at Tecnologico de Monterrey, comparing experiences from 2014 to 2019 between medical and biomedical engineering students. Medical students consistently outperform biomedical engineering counterparts, attributed to higher admission standards. Despite minor improvements in biomedical engineering grades, the differences remain statistically insignificant. Initial challenges for students involve adapting to a self-directed learning model. Biomedical engineers excel in cell biology compared to biochemistry courses. Students recognize PBL's benefits in acquiring theoretical knowledge and facing intellectual challenges, emphasizing its value in biomedical engineering education. We conclude that PBL implementation should be considered in other engineering courses.

Purpose - This study explores how problem-based learning (PBL) programs can address Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) via the higher education (HE) curriculum, teaching materials and relevant assessments, supporting learning at scale for HE institutions. Design/methodology/approach - Employing SDGs and their indicators as the coding framework, our twophase study evaluates the curriculum and teaching materials of seven PBL programs at a leading higher education institution (HEI). The first phase involved a content analysis to assess the degree of sustainability integration in 156 relevant courses. The second phase applied a semi-automated mapping protocol to analyze learning and teaching materials in 120 relevant courses. Findings - The school aligns with 17 SDGs (100%), covering 94 indicators (55.62%). On average, each program within the school addresses over ten of these goals and incorporates more than 24 associated indicators. However, the study reveals an imbalance in the incorporation of SDGs, with some goals not yet deeply and comprehensively embedded in the curriculum. While there is a substantial focus on sustainability theories, the practical implications of SDGs in emerging countries, particularly through case studies and assessments, require significant enhancement. Practical implications - Mapping SDGs allows HEIs to identify strengths and gaps in SDG integration, thereby improving the PBL approach to enhance student work readiness in sustainability-focused careers. Originality/value - Through the lens of transformative learning theory, this study provides evidence of SDG integration into PBL curricula. It highlights a mapping methodology that enables HEIs to evaluate their sustainability readiness in curriculum, teaching materials and relevant assessments.
