Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In today’s fast-changing educational landscape, there is a need for teaching approaches that combine technology with active, student-centered learning. This study examines how Technology-Enhanced Cooperative Problem-Based Learning (TE-CPBL) workshops can transform educators’ teaching practices. Based on constructivist learning theory, the research explores how TE-CPBL training impacts teaching strategies. Using qualitative methods, data were collected through reflective journals and post-workshop surveys from educators who attended the workshops. The findings highlight significant improvements in teaching approaches, including increased confidence in using tools like Canva and ChatGPT, better integration of technology into pedagogy, and a stronger focus on student-centered learning. While participants faced challenges such as time constraints and limited institutional support, they reported greater teaching effectiveness and motivation to apply TE-CPBL strategies. This study emphasizes the importance of constructivist-based professional development in helping educators adopt innovative practices to meet modern educational needs.
