Problem-based Learning

Problem-based learning (PBL) is a form of enquiry-based learning, in which learning is driven by a process of inquiry. Problem-based Learning PBL differs fundamentally from conventional curricula. Some project-based learning may emphasise summative assessment, thus students are assessed on end products such as presentation, reports and artefacts. PBL on the other hand places greater emphasis on the development of students during the learning process. In some project-based learning situations, students might not see the meaning of doing the project. Some students may rely on cut-and-paste, thus the aim of project-based learning is defeated.

Problem-based learning for traditional and interdisciplinary classrooms. PBL is more than an instructional method, but a nurturing environment in which all curriculum elements are systematically aligned to help students achieve the learning outcomes.
