The document discusses the principles, benefits, and processes of problem-based learning (PBL) and project-based learning (PjBL), highlighting their significance in enhancing self-directed learning, problem-solving skills, and collaboration among students. It outlines the advantages of PBL, particularly for English as a foreign language learners, and emphasizes the integration of technology and productivity tools in these learning approaches. Additionally, it notes the evolution of project-based learning as a method rooted in experiential learning theories, supported by various research findings.

1. Lesson 2: Problem-Based Learning
and Project-Based Learning

2. Nature of Problem-Based Learning

3. Objectives
Recognize the benefits of project based and problem
based learning in their lives
Know the role of technology and productivity tools in
implementing problem based and project based learning.
Analyze and find the difference and similarities between
problem based and project based learning

4. Nature of Problem-Based Learning
Problem-based learning is an approach
that involves a process of inquiry and
solving open-ended questions that serve
as the main problem that the learners will
work on.

5. Nature of Problem-Based Learning
Ali (2019) described PBL as a process that is
used to identify problems with a scenario to
increase knowledge and understanding.
 In her article, she proposed the following
five principles of PBL that may be
considered by teachers in planning or using
the approach:

6. Five principles of PBL
1. It is a power of
independent and
self-directed
learning.
2. Learning
happens in a
group and teacher
is a facilitator.
3. All groups have
to participate
equally.
4. Students' learn about
motivation, teamwork,
problem-solving and
engagement with the
task
5. Materials such as data,
photographs, articles,
can be used to solve the
problem.
Nature of Problem-Based Learning

7. Nature of Problem-Based Learning
Lo (2009, p. 208) proposed a six-stage
process used in the adoption of the online
PBL:

8. 6 stage process used in the adoption of the
online PBL
1. Identifying the problem
2. Brainstorming
3. Collecting and analyzing the information

9. 6 stage process used in the adoption of the
online PBL
4. Synthesizing information
5. Co-building knowledge
6. Refining the outcomes

10. Benefits of Problem-Based Learning
positive impacts of PBL on learners as they
engage in the process. Among these are the
following:

11.  Benefits of Problem-Based Learning
1. Promotes self-confidence and motivation
2. Reduces students' nervousness during the
learning process
3. Increases students' responsibility in learning
4. Makes students easily learn the material through
sharing of ideas
(Ghufron & Ermawati, 2018, p. 666-in n EFL writing class)

12.  Benefits of Problem-Based Learning
5. Promotes problem-solving skills
6. Promotes self-directed learning
7. Promotes active learning
8. Makes students explore many learning resources
9. Makes students develop positive attitude towards
learning

13.  Benefits of Problem-Based Learning
For Baresh, Ali, & Darmi, 2019-EFL students:
• Enhances Fluences in communications
• Improves grammar
• Increases comprehension
• Enhances self- confidence
• Increases range of vocabulary

14.  Benefits of Problem-Based Learning
For English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students, PBL:
• Enhances fluency in communication
• Improves grammar
• Increases comprehension
• Enhances good pronunciations and intonations
• Enhances self-confidence
• Increases range of vocabulary

15. Role of Technology

16. How is Technology integrated
in the PBL Activity?

17. As the learners embark on an open-ended
question collaboratively, there are a number
of free online tools that they can use from
the commencement of the task to its
completion especially that some of the group
tasks will be done outside the regular class
hours.
Technology integrated in the PBL Activity

18. These may facilitate and enhance PBL activities
(Tambouris et al, 2012) in its different stages.
Web 2.0
technologies
are characterized by
collaboration, sharing
and networking.
WWW
has opportunities for
PBL that can be utilized
by the learners to
accomplish their tasks
Technology integrated in the PBL Activity

19. Productivity tools
Such as those for writing, presentations,
spreadsheets, calendars, organizers, citations
and others are also available to assist learners
and teachers in accomplishing required tasks and
outputs from a PBL activity

20. Nature of Project-Based Learning/
Project Based Approach

21. Project-Based Learning/Project Based
Approach
evolved as a teaching method that engages
learners in a series of planned tasks
Student- Centered
This method is based on John Dewey’s
principles “ Learning by doing “

22. and Vygotsky's constructivist theory of
learning
A collaborative learning activity where
learners work on an authentic task
guided by an open-ended question
Project-Based Learning/Project Based
Approach

23. Past and more recent researches have proven PrBL
to be beneficial in the development of various skills

24. Researches:
1. Research methodology skills (Tiwari,
Arya, & Bansal, 2017).
2. Oral communicative competence
(Bakar, Noordin, & Rali, 2019).
3. Development of life skills (Wurdinger &
Qureshi, 2015).
