| Abstract | Problem-based learning (PBL) is a self-directed learning strategy where students work collaboratively in small groups to investigate open-ended relatable case scenarios. Students develop transferable skills that can be applied across disciplines, such as collaboration, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Despite extensive research on problem-based learning, a thorough examination of student engagement in relation to PBL is lacking (Savin-Baden, 2014; 2016). We studied student motivation through self-reflection exercises, surveys, and peer-evaluations in a third-year undergraduate anthropology course (N = 49) with students of differing levels of course material experience. We hypothesized that throughout the course student motivation would be highest in students with the most subject matter experience. The results show that student motivation was higher in students with more subject matter experience at the beginning of the course, however during the course their motivation decreased. By the end of the course the majority of students had high motivation toward PBL, however, we were surprised that forensic specialists with the most subject matter experience had low motivation at the end of the course. This research is important to demonstrate the challenges of implementing PBL in a traditional curriculum, and to provide suggestions for engaging diverse student populations in PBL. (As Provided). |
