Abstract | As the evaluation profession has continued to grow and develop, there has been a corresponding concern about how to properly train future evaluation practitioners. Those who teach evaluation strive to develop training opportunities that create the appropriate balance of the practical, how-to knowledge of evaluation with the burgeoning theoretical knowledge that undergirds responsible evaluation practice. There is a recognized need to move beyond traditional teaching methods to ones that are more engaging and "hands on" to help students understand the interactive nature of program evaluation. Problem-based learning is an experiential learning approach that can integrate the need to balance self-study of theory and practice, along with the need to familiarize students with the dynamic, interactive nature of program evaluation. This article serves as an introduction to the problem-based learning approach and describes this instructional method applied to teaching a graduate-level course in evaluation procedures.
