About PBL
Problem Based Learning (PBL) is an approach to learning that is increasingly spreading around the world in both higher and secondary education. Learning is triggered by a problem in PBL; that is, the problem comes first. The problems that are presented in a PBL context are real-world problems, complex, challenging, and designed by the teacher according to the specific learning outcomes to be achieved. From the outline of the original problem all the way to its solution, students work actively and collaboratively in small groups, guided and facilitated by the instructor. Students in a PBL classroom have a hands-on opportunity to grasp the benefits of working cooperatively and engaging in their own learning processes. During this learning experience, students not only acquire the knowledge related to the subject area, but also develop and practice skills, as well as observe and reflect about the attitudes and values - highly valued objectives in an effective learning environment.
