| Abstract: | What Illeris' "Problem orientation and participant direction -- A proposal for alternative didactics" (1974) signified for Roskilde University, Eva Hultengren's "Problem orientation, project work and report writing" (1976) signified for Aalborg University. Both books were soon published in a second edition, but only Hultengren (1976) focused specifically on higher education and the developing experimentation with group organized project work at Aalborg University (SSH faculty), which later introduced project work into the PBL-tradition. In this paper, I argue that "Problem-orientation, project work and report writing" (Hultengren, 1976) is not just of historical interest. On the contrary, it offers rich analysis and perspectives on issues which are still debated today internationally regarding the role of the supervisor with respect to process orientation, the degree of participant direction and the knowledge interest underpinning project work. |
