PROJECT BASED LEARNING (PBL)

PROJECT BASED LEARNING (PBL)


Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students learn about a subject in the context of complex, multifaceted, and realistic problems. Working in groups, students identify what they already know, what they need to know, and how and where to access new information that may lead to resolution of the problem. The role of the instructor is that of facilitator of learning who provides appropriate scaffolding of that process by (for example), asking probing questions, providing appropriate resources, and leading class discussions, as well as designing student assessments.
Students are at the center of the learning process.

Characteristics of PBL are:
  • Learning is driven by challenging, open-ended, ill-defined and ill-structured problems.
  • Students generally work in collaborative groups.
  • Teachers take on the role as "facilitators" of learning.
