Problem-based Learning 2
Introduction
In this unit, you will learn how to design a problem for a PBL lesson and
subsequently craft a problem scenario so that the problem can be placed in a
real-world every day context.

Finally, the steps in designing a problem and crafting a problem scenario can be
summarised as shown in Figure 1.2.3. After you have constructed your problem
scenario and review it against the key principles, give it a catchy title to increase
learners’ motivation and curiosity.
•Identify concepts from content, obtain ideas for hooks, visualize a situation in the real
world, and provide context (setting for the learner with a role to adopt)
Step 3
•Identify the types of problems that are best suited to drive learning, use the KISS
principle and ensure key words are build in to cue learners
Step 4
•Provide focus and end to the problem scenario by developing a question or task,
providing a clear description of the deliverables to the problem (e.g. report,
Step 5 assignment, demonstration, verbal presentation)

answer (e.g. A) is positioned at the top of the card
3. Raise the card to the instructor so that it can be scanned
Activity 6: Reflection
1. Go to menti.com
2. Ask me anything
3. Type in three words to describe your experience in this session
4. Are there any other comments or feedbacks that you wish to share?
Conclusions
To run a PBL lesson, you have to start by designing a problem and crafting a
problem scenario to situate the problem. There are several steps to do this and if
followed, can produce an effective PBL problem that helps learners acquire new
knowledge sometimes above and beyond the intended learning outcomes.
