Problem - Based Learning

Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy where students learn through solving problems. In PBL, students define problems, research independently and in groups, present solutions, and review their learning. PBL uses real-world problems as examples, like analyzing an athlete's injury. It increases active learning, motivation, and resource use while decreasing memorization. However, PBL requires substantial staff time, familiarization, resources, and flexibility to implement effectively.

➢ Definition:
Problem- based learning
(PBL) is a student-centered
pedagogy in which students
learn about a subject
through experience of
problem solving.
Present Problem
➢ PBL Process:
Students define the problem and
brainstorm based on prior knowledge

Students engage in independent study

Students share information, and work


towards a solution in groups

Students present their solution and review


what they have learned

Students engage in self and peer review of


the process
➢ Example:
Show a video clip where an athlete gets injured and ask questions related to the force,
direction, what ligaments would be involved, etc.

Use simple objects to build levers; propose a problem with various simple items (ruler,
etc.); give students a scenario that involves a large stone that must be carried across
the street with only one person to help...how can you do this?
➢ Advantages of PBL:
1. Active learning [learn by doing]

2. Increases student motivation

3. Learning real life problems

4. Greater use of library and other resource materials

5. Less usage of memorization skills

6. Increased teacher student interaction


➢ Disadvantages of PBL:
1. Demanding on staff time

2. Teachers are not familiar with PBL

3. Limited resources

4. Student information overload

5. Difficult with a large group

6. Needs flexibility and adaptability
