Baker and Shin presented information, handouts and examples of “Using Problem-Based Learning in Sport Management Classes” at the teaching and learning fair portion of the conference. Problem-based learning is a powerful classroom process, using real-world problems to motivate students to identify and apply research concepts and information, work collaboratively and communicate effectively. This strategy promotes life-long habits of learning, and provides advantages to sport management students. Components of understanding this teaching methodology were presented.
