Problem-Based Learning in Web-Based Training of School Leaders: A Theoretical Model

Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the usability of the problem-based learning in school administrator training programs in Turkey and to suggest a model proposal. In the scope of the research, firstly various applications used in the training of school leaders in developed countries and in Turkey, deficiencies in these existing training programs and the scientific studies related to the experienced problem were examined. Then the importance of problem-based learning in the training of school leaders was discussed and we suggest a web-based problem basis school leader training (WB-PBSLT) model which can be used in Turkey. Although a consensus is concerned with the effectiveness of PBL, the functionality of the model can only be revealed by empirical research.
