Abstract

A pedagogical approach of problem-based learning with embedded librarianship in several undergraduate mathematics courses is implemented in this educational research. The students are assigned to work on several projects on various applications of mathematical topics in daily life and submit written reports. An embedded librarian collaborates together with the instructor and the students to improve the students' information literacy. Initial reaction and anecdotal evidence show that the students' information literacy and academic performance have improved throughout the semesters. Keywords: problem-based learning, undergraduate mathematics, embedded librarian, library, instructional technology, Kazakhstan
