Role of Technology

According to Tumouris et al. (2012), technology is defined by cooperation, sharing, and

non-working. This can help and improve project-based learning activities and all of its
phases. When students start working together on an open-ended project, they have
access to a variety of free web resources. These online resources will enable the
students to actively engage with and contribute to the group desk while being observed
for their contributions. In addition to having the chance to see each student's activity, a
facilitator teacher can provide comments at any point during an instructional problem-
solving course. The WWW offers opportunities for project-based learning, which
students can use to complete their assignments. Bower, Hedberg, and Kuswara
(2010) emphasize that “technology is merely the mediator for collaboration and
representation and that the type of task and thinking processes that students engage in
determine the quality of learning (p. 181)”.
Productivity tools
 Writing
 Presentations
 Spreadsheets
 Calendars
 Organizers
 Citation
And others are also available to assist learners and teachers and accomplishing report
tasks and outputs from a problem-based activity. Before endorsing these tools,
educators should remember that students should experiment with various productivity
tools to determine which ones are best for particular PBL assignments.
Challenges of Problem Based Learning
Students Diversity
PBL face challenges due to different cultures, backgrounds, and learning styles
of students. For students, adapting the method to a diverse students is challenging.
Motivation
Encouraging students to solve problems on their own might be difficult. Some
students could struggle to find the drive needed to independently examine and solve
challenges.
Independence
It takes a lot of time work to increase students' learning independence through
PBL. Educators must make sure that students take responsibility for their education,
which may hinder if they grow too dependent on one another.
