Problem-Based Learning in Human Growth and Development Counselor Education

Abstract

As a core curricular standard that applies to all entryand doctoral-level counselor education programs (Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs, 2015), human growth and development can present unique challenges for the teaching professional. In this article, we present an in-class activity grounded in problem-based learning that uniquely lends itself to the task of supporting medium-to-large classrooms in learning about human growth and development.
