The document provides an overview of problem-based learning (PBL). It defines PBL as an educational approach that uses real-world problems as the stimulus and focus for student learning. Students work collaboratively in small groups to identify what they need to learn and independently research the problem before reapplying their knowledge to find solutions. The key characteristics of PBL are that it starts with an open-ended problem, incorporates self-directed learning, emphasizes critical thinking and problem-solving skills over memorization of facts alone. PBL aims to better prepare students for professional practice through active engagement with authentic problems.

Problem based learning is one of the approaches used in presenting the lesson. In this presentation you will know the advantages of using this approach. This also tackles the models needed in implementing this strategy. I have provided an example problem for a more adequate learning.
Problem-based Learning: PBL is any learning environment in which the problem drives the learning. That is, before students learn some knowledge they are given a problem. The problem is posed so that the students discover that they need to learn some new knowledge before they can solve the problem. Some example problem-based learning environments include:
•research projects
•engineering design projects that are more than a synthesis of previously learned knowledge

The problem based learning was developed in the university of McMaster, Canada, in 1976.
It emphasizes on the problem as the starting point for the acquisition and integration of new knowledge. This enables the students to earn critical thinking and problem solving skills, which are essential to nursing practice.
Problem based learning (or PBL) is a student-centered pedagogical theory of classroom learning where small group of students study (and discuss) complex problems, and work together to formulate suitable solutions to cases.
PBL is a student-centered approach to learning that involves groups of students working to solve a real-world problem, quite different from the direct teaching method of a teacher presenting facts and concepts about a specific subject to a classroom of students. Through PBL, students not only strengthen their teamwork, communication, and research skills, but they also sharpen their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities essential for life-long learning.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. What is Problem-Based Learning (PBL)?
“An education process that requires the learner to go through the
same activities during learning that are valued in the real world…
The intent is to challenge the learner with problems found in
practice both as a stimulus for learning and as a focus for organizing
what has been learned for later recall and application to future
work.”
(Professor Howard Barrows as quoted
in Boud & Feletti, 2001)

Characteristics of PBL
• The problem is the starting point of learning
• Subject matter is organized around the problems rather than
the discipline
• Forces the students to work and learn the basic principles of
the subject in the context of solving a problem
• Real world problem – appeared unstructured
• Problems call for several sources of knowledge
• Self-directed learning is primary
• Students assume major responsibility for
information/knowledge acquisition.
6. Characteristics of PBL
• Learning is collaborative, communicative and co-operative
• Peer learning, peer teaching & group presentation are
essential
• Role of teacher: facilitates & coaches through questioning and
cognitive coaching.
• Development of inquiry & problem solving skills is as
important as content knowledge acquisition
• Production of artifacts + exhibits
• The learning environment of PBL is characterised by
openness, active student involvement, + an atmosphere of
intellectual freedom

DYNAMIC AND ITERATIVE
15. Meeting the Problem
Problem scenario acts as a stimulus to scaffold and extend a
realistic context students may encounter in the future
• Developing collegiality
• Individual reading, reflection and inquiry
• Commitment to team roles and the group
• Brainstorming and articulation of probable issues
• Reaching consensus on the problem statement
• Commitment to deliberate on the problem scenario and
problem analysis
01/29/15 15
16. Problem Analysis and Learning Issues
Students’ prior knowledge is activated
Ideas are generated that call for further learning
Students are required to work independently on their own, searching
for information through various resources (e.g., books, journals,
Internet resources)
• Brainstorming & analysis of problem (e.g., generation of possible
explanations and hypotheses)
• Identification of learning issues and formulation of learning
objectives
• Assignment of self-directed learning and peer teaching tasks
PBL facilitator prompts to ensure key areas are not overlooked

Discovery and Reporting
Students report their discovery of learning to their own groups
• Peer teaching
• Students gather to share the new information they have
individually discovered
• Group collaboration and communication skills through
questioning and seeking of further information from each
other
18. Solution Presentation and Reflection
• Present solution to problem scenario
• Reflect on and evaluate their knowledge, understanding and
approach
• Contextualize and apply knowledge to the situation
• Demonstrate their new knowledge
• Sometimes, more questions may be asked
01/29/15 18
19. Overview, Integration and Evaluation
• Closure to the problem based learning
• PBL facilitator summarizes and integrates what has been
learned and highlights gaps in knowledge
• Students critique their learning resources (e.g., value,
reliability and usefulness for future learning)
• Reflect on the new knowledge they have learned as a result
of the problem
• Members of groups also evaluate their performance as
learners in terms of being problem-solvers, self-directed
learners, and as members of the team

Editor's Notes
PBL is based on Constructivism/Social Constructivism:
Understanding through interaction with problem scenario & learning environment
Piaget (1970) suggested that one of the motivations for intellectual development was the ‘cognitive conflict’ that arises between the child’s experience of the world and understanding it
Problem inquiry create cognitive conflicts that stimulate learning
Students are active problem solvers
Collaborative processes require social negotiation and evaluation of one’s understanding leads to knowledge construction
Emphasis is on knowledge acquisition rather than application
Problem Encounter
Define the main problem and highlight specific keywords and issues
Inductive and deductive analyses
Problem Analysis
Generate and articulate specific questions
Generate possible explanations and hypotheses based on prior experiences or knowledge
Make links to relevant theories/research
Formulate learning objectives
Peer Teaching and Discovery
Formulation and Evaluation of Solution
Generate and choose appropriate solutions based on theory and research
Evaluate solutions
Problem Statement: Students’ interpretation of the problem. An overarching statement of the problem; the problem stated in its most succinct and comprehensive form
Learning Issues are topics where students need to search and study in order to solve or explain the problem (usually state in the form of questions)
Hypotheses/Explanations: Informed guesses or research-based explanations to the learning issues
Learning Objectives: Specific learning objectives when researching on the learning issues
