Teaching Analog Electronics by PBL

The group size of students tend to be quite high on basic courses. To ensure good learning results students must be guided to do as much as possible by themselves. With limited teaching resources this might cause problems. One implementation of problem based learning (PBL) in teaching electronics is presented in this paper. The target of the implementation was to increase self-steered learning of the students and to keep the work load of the teachers reasonable. Self-steered study groups seem to achieve best learning results, if their performance is evaluated continuously.
