Against a background of increasing inequality and a rising tide of
nationalism and populism, this book raises concerns that curriculum
is being shaped by powerful non-academic, non-accountable forces
and that populism - and its manifestations - represent a grave
challenge to learning. It explores the extent to which curriculum
and learning methods in higher education should respond to this
challenge. Using problem based learning as a case study it draws on
crossdisciplinary studies to examine how regional, national and
organizational perspectives emphasize different aspects of PBL. It
questions whether PBL provides an effective response to external
influences and a 'populist' highereducation agenda. In conclusion
the book poses an uncomfortable question whether graduates reflect
the external forces shaping curriculum and hence may be as
vulnerable to populist rhetoric as non-graduates precisely because
the curriculum and learning methods do not engage with the
challenges. This book will appeal to scholars of problem based
learning, as well as populism and therole of higher education in
society.
