  abstract =     "Problem-Based Learning (PBL) has been an effective
                 technique in developing self-directed learning and
                 problem-solving skills in students --- especially in
                 the medical school environment. This paper looks at
                 some preliminary results of an ethnographic study of
                 students in a software development environment trying
                 to use PBL. Our findings indicate that students need
                 explicit training in group dynamics, students tend to
                 rely excessively on existing knowledge, and they focus
                 almost solely on product-related issues versus
                 process-related ones. We then present some suggested
                 improvements and future planned research.",
