标题：Bridging the gap between education and employment: a case study of problem-based learning implementation in Postgraduate Sport and Exercise Psychology
摘要：The purpose of this case study was to explore Postgraduate Sport and
Exercise Psychology students’ and their lecturer’s experiences of PBL,
and, its role in developing their employability skills. A focus group was
conducted with four students (Mage = 22.75 years, SD = 0.96 years; n
female = 2) and a conversational interview was conducted with the
lecturer (age = 37 years, teaching experience = 11 years). Inductive
thematic analysis of verbatim transcripts was used as a basis for
developing portrait and composite vignettes to illustrate their
experiences. Their underpinning themes suggested that PBL was
instrumental for developing key employability skills: team working,
communication and interpersonal sensitivity; thinking critically,
creatively and flexibly; for helping students translate academic
knowledge into application in future employment contexts, and
for increasing awareness that learning is a lifelong developmental
process.
