In Memoriam: John R. Savery (1950–2025): Editors' Reflection
It is with profound sadness that the editors of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-Based Learning (IJPBL) mark the passing of John R. Savery, Ph.D., on May 8, 2025. John’s relationship with this journal was foundational—he contributed the most-read article in IJPBL’s history and, in doing so, helped introduce an entire generation of educators and researchers to the principles of problem-based learning. In the remarks that follow, three memb…
Outdoor Exhibitions in Beijing, 1979
An important artistic phenomenon in Beijing in 1979 was the occurrence of multiple unofficial outdoor art exhibitions, which have not yet received sufficient scholarly attention. This article attempts to assemble the available materials, to provide a general introduction to these exhibitions, and to reflect on their shared historical context, forms, and strategies. After identifying public parks and Democracy Wall as the two principal venues of o…

Unearthing Wu Daozi ( c . 686 to c . 760): The Concept of Authorship in Tang Painting
Worshipped by later folk artists as the god of painting, Wu Daozi ( c . 686 to c . 760) was also praised by ninth‐century art historian Zhang Yanyuan as someone who ‘did not look back and will have no successors’. But alas, this ‘Sage of Painting’ ( Hua sheng ) left no work to us (imagine if we knew Leonardo da Vinci or Michelangelo only by reputation). Can archaeology remedy this unfortunate situation as it has done for so many other fields from…
Thinking Through Scale: The First Emperor’s Sculptural Enterprise
This chapter confronts the problems of the terminology of “figurine” and that of “ yong ,” the ancient Chinese word always used to translate “figurine.” Yong does not imply miniature size necessarily and is defined by funerary functions. The issues are exemplified through discussion of the sculptural projects of the First Emperor, including his larger-than-life golden statues in bronze and the famous terracotta army and other sculptures of his ma…
Revisiting cognitive tools from a social and motivational perspective
The concept of computers as cognitive tools has been revisited to provide insight into the motivational and social dimension in light of the emerging technologies. Central to this concept are the two opposing philosophical views: learning from technology (amplification view of technology) versus learning with technology (constructivist view of technology). A literature review is provided on the paradigm shift in educational technologies from the …
On Tomb Figurines: The Beginning of a Visual Tradition
Chinese Views of Childhood
Chinese in the twentieth century, intent on modernizing their country, condemned their inherited culture in part on the grounds that it was oppressive to the young. The authors of this pioneering volume provide us with the evidence to re-examine those charges. Drawing on sources ranging from art to medical treatises, fiction, and funerary writings, they separate out the many complexities in the Chinese cultural construction of childhood and the w…

Ji: Traces in Chinese Landscape and Landscape Painting
En Chine, les traces visibles de l'antiquité suscitent depuis longtemps un grand intérêt, donnant naissance à des pratiques culturelles très diverses. On peut en distinguer quatre types : les « traces divines » qui étaient censées manifester, de manière souvent assez ambiguë, l'activité des puissances surnaturelles ; les « traces historiques » que relevait l'étude des antiquaires érudits ; les « traces subsistantes » auxquelles s'attachaient des …
All Problems are Not Equal: Implications for Problem-Based Learning
Problem-based learning (PBL) is an instructional model that assumes the centrality of problems to learning. Research on PBL has focused on student learning, student roles, tutor roles, problem design, and technology use (Hung, Jonassen, & Liu, 2008), but little attention in the PBL literature has been paid to the nature of the problems that provide the focus for PBL. In this paper, we articulate a model for evaluating problem difficulty. Problem …

Remaking Beijing: Tiananmen Square and the Creation of a Political Space
In 1949, Beijing still retained nearly all of its time-honored character and magnificence. But when Chairman Mao rejected the proposal to build a new capital for the People's Republic of China and decided to stay in the ancient city, he initiated a long struggle to transform Beijing into a shining beacon of socialism. So began the remaking of the city into a modern metropolis rife with monuments, public squares, exhibition halls, and government o…

Rethinking Warring States Cities: An Historical and Methodological Proposal
Unsatisfied with a rigid typology of Warring States cities based on static configurations of city walls, this paper approaches different urban forms during this period as linked phenomena in a broad sociopolitical movement. Through reexamining the expansion of several important cities such as Xue, Linzi, Xinzheng (Xiadu), Wuyang, and Qufu, the author argues that the most important feature of Warring States cities was not stability (as a necessary…

From Temple to Tomb: Ancient Chinese Art and Religion in Transition
By exploring the shift of ancestral worship centers in ancient China and its impact on art, the author argues that the genealogical/political structure of the Three Dynasties found its religious form in temple worship; however, following the decline of this system during the Eastern Zhou and the Qin, the tomb of an individual increased in importance. This process culminated during the Eastern Han: Problems in dynastic succession forced the Easter…

Art in a Ritual Context: Rethinking Mawangdui
This paper reexamines the famous painting from Mawangdui Tomb number 1. Instead of approaching it as an independent “work” and matching its images with fragmentary textual references, I explore its relationship with other buried objects, the tomb's structure and symbolism, and the ritual process during which the tomb was constructed. Based on ancient ritual canons, I reject the popular opinion that the painting served to summon the departed soul …

Monumentality in early Chinese art and architecture
Chinese decorative, pictorial, and architectural forms, often approached as separate traditions, are here explained as a broad artistic movement and contextualized as part of a well-defined cultural and political tradition. The book begins with the first comprehensive explanation of "ritual art." This native genre encompasses ceremonial pottery, jades, and bronzes, which, though often small and hidden, manifest a unique sense of the monumental. T…
