A Problem-based Approach to teach physical database design: an experience report

Abstract


This work presents our first experience in applying a Problem-Based Learning approach to improving students’ abilities on how to analyze and evaluate database performance problems. The preliminary qualitative results reveal our approach contribution to students learning process. Additionally, we also discuss key lessons learned and indicate some future areas of improvement.
