Kurt Lewin said that we learn best when we face a problem—something that confuses
us or doesn’t make sense.

Simple Meaning:
A problematic situation is when a person sees that something is wrong, confusing, or
different from what they expected. This makes them stop and think, and that’s when
real learning starts.

Example:
