| - | |**The problem**: //Coming home from work, tired and in need of a hot bath, Anita, an account manager, discovers two spiders in her tub. She shrinks back, screams, and runs away. Her heart pounds, a cold sweat is coming over her. A neighbor saves her from her difficult situation by killing the little animals using a newspaper. Explain what has happened here.//| |**PBL activities**: Activities begin with a discussion where students use their prior knowledge to describe processes underlying described phenomenon and develop theories. Issues will arise and will be dealt with during individual learning. Group will meet two or three times a week to discuss and see if students' understanding of the problem has deepened due to individual research. The tutor will stimulate discussion and monitor students' activity and contributions. Between group meetings individual learning and discovery takes place.| | + | |**The problem**: //Coming home from work, tired and in need of a hot bath, Anita, an account manager, discovers two spiders in her tub.

Issues that arise will be dealt with during individual learning. For example, students will learn about the nature of phobic fear, classical and operant conditioning in fear development, biological basis and evolutionary reasons for such responses, or treatment of phobic fears. Group will meet two or three times a week to discuss and see if students' understanding of the problem has deepened due to individual research.
