WHAT IS
PROBLEM- BASED
LEARNING?
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a process
acquiring and understanding of knowledge,
skills in the context of an unfamiliar situation
and applying that learning to the situation.
Example:
TRADITIONAL
LEARNING
teacher centered
PROBLEM-BASED
LEARNING
student centered
Problem based learning is where students work in small groups
to increase knowledge by identifying learning objectives,
engaging in self-directed work and participating in discussion.
It provides students with greater access to
information, support, resources, flexible approaches
to learning, collaborative learning activities and
opportunities for self development so that can get
result in higher levels of structural environment.

STRATEGIES IN TEACHING PBL
Problem Identification: PBL typically starts
with identifying a problem or situation. This
provides context and purpose to the learning,
prompting students to think deeply and explore
possible solutions.
Group Work: Collaboration is essential
in PBL, where students are grouped
together. Working in teams allows them
to share knowledge, engage in
discussions, and develop a collective
understanding of the problem.
Teacher Facilitation: While the teacher
guides and oversees the PBL process,
their role goes beyond providing answers;
they encourage students to ask
questions, think critically, and
demonstrate analytical skills.
Questioning: Using guiding questions
stimulates students' thinking within
PBL. It encourages them to examine
different aspects of the problem,
form hypotheses, and experiment with
solutions.
Application of Knowledge: In PBL,
utilizing knowledge from various fields
such as science, history, and students'
experiences is crucial. This broadens their
understanding and provides a deeper
context to the problem they are studying.
Evaluation and Reflection: At the
conclusion of a PBL study, evaluating
findings and solutions is essential. This
process of evaluation and reflection allows
students to reflect on their learning and
plan for the future.
