By implementing problem-based learning (PBL) at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP), the partners are working to reform the preparation of future public school teachers in the host country. By the end of the ALO funding period, the partners expect that 1) 100 PUCP professors (chemistry, physics, and math) will be trained to design and implement PBL courses in their respective disciplines; 2) 100 public school teachers will be trained to instruct in a PBL format; and 3) 40 chemistry, physics, and math courses will be converted into the PBL format at two public universities (the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos and the Universidad Nacional de Educación Enrique Guzmán y Valle) and two public pedagogical institutes (the Instituto Pedagógico Nacional de Monterrico and the Instituto Paulo Freire de Comas). Recently, the partners conducted a PBL-training workshop in Lima for approximately 80 professors and secondary school teachers.
