This talk explores the innovative concept of Learning That Starts With a Problem (LTSWAP). It delves into the principles of problem-based learning, emphasizing both convergent and divergent thinking to foster understanding and adaptability. Key questions addressed include identifying where learners are coming from, their current understanding, and their future paths. The session will highlight practical exercises aimed at defining problems to enhance bio-physical concepts, environmental issues, and analytical skills—all crucial for deep, meaningful learning experiences.

Learning that starts with a problem • Problem based learning • Convergent – practice parts of the processto reach an expected outcome • Learning That Starts With A Problem – LTSWAP • Divergent –demands practice of the whole process to achieve an unexpected outcome.

Learning that starts with a problem • Practice and Variation • Understanding : (the space of experiential variation) • Understanding is recognised in “flexible performance” not just “what do you know ?” but more like“what can you do with what you know ?” It is adaptive performance.
Learning that starts with a problem • When I understand something, when I have learned then I can say (do or show) it again – but I can also say (do or show) it at another time, in a different way, for a different reason” • Understanding is recognised in “flexible performance” not just “what do you know ?” but more like“what can you do with what you know ?” It is adaptive performance.
