Problem-based learning (PBL) is a teaching style that
pushes students to become the drivers of their learning
education.

● Student-centered approach
● Inquiry-based model
● Requires creativity, innovation, critical thinking
 Difference
● Unlike traditional learning, there might not
be just one right answer, but the process
encourages young minds to stay active and
think for themselves.
● Problem-based learning uses complex, real-
world issues as the classroom’s subject
matter, encouraging students to develop
problem-solving skills and learn concepts
instead of just absorbing facts.
 ASPECTS OF
PROBLEM-BASED
LEARNING
Challenging students to understand classroom
concepts on a deeper level.
• Pushing students to make decisions they’re
able to defend.
• Clearly connecting current course
objectives to previous courses and
knowledge.
• Encouraging students to work as a group
to solve the complex issue at hand.
• Engaging students to solve an open-ended
problem in multiple complex stages.
Benefits

Promote self- Develop

learning 1 2 transferable skills

Higly Improve

Encourage intrinsic rewards: With problem-
based learning projects, the reward is
much greater than simply an A on an
assignment. Students earn the self-
respect and satisfaction of knowing
they’ve solved a riddle, created an
innovative solution.
Considerations for Using Problem-Based
Learning

Examine and define the problem.

Explore what they already know about underlying issues
related to it.
Determine what they need to learn and where they can
acquire the information and tools necessary to solve the
problem.
Evaluate possible ways to solve the problem.
Solve the problem.
• Report on their findings.
