Problem-based learning (PBL) is an instructional method that requires students to work collaboratively to solve complex, authentic problems. It develops critical thinking and collaboration. The PBL process involves defining a problem, brainstorming solutions, researching the problem, proposing solutions, and presenting the best solution. It is interdisciplinary and engages students in complex, authentic problems that give them a stake in the issue and a role to play.
This is a slightly-edited version of an online presentation prepared for a class on Motivating 21st Century Learning, in which I give a basic overview of what Problem-based Learning is, and how it can be used--particularly in a library classroom environment.

The Problem-Based Learning (PBL) teaching method supports the Chinese proverb, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
We came up with a Slideshare presentation why this method is more effectiving in the classroom. Hope this inspires teachers to enhance the problem solving skills of their students.

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.

This session will look at how to encourage a problem-solving approach which permeates all the outcomes rather than as a separate element. It will look at strategies to promote collaborative learning and how this can be used to create an atmosphere of achievement to promote the four capacities.

Didactic profiles in PBL STEM Teaching-Learning Sequencesjdomen44

Project-Based Learning is a candidate approach as teaching sequences for scientific competence that is being promoted through STEM education. Several didactic components are of interest in the didactic architecture of these sequences: Context, Conflict, Discourse, Content, Openness and Interdisciplinary. We have developed a rubric to assess these components in 87 PBL STEM sequences designed by secondary education teachers. We have identified 4 main profiles in the proposed sequences and discuss its implications on the development of scientific competence through PBL STEM sequences.
Each of the 5 E's describes a phase of learning, and each phase begins with the letter "E": Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate. The 5 E's allows students and teachers to experience common activities, to use and build on prior knowledge and experience, to construct meaning, and to continually assess their understanding of a concept.
Instructional Strategies: Indirect Instruction in your lessonsCaryn Chang
As there are many categories of instructional strategies, this e-book focuses on indirect instruction. Indirect instruction is mainly student- centred and emphasizes on allowing students to get involved throughout a lesson by observing thus seeking their own meaning of the lesson.
In this e-book, the methods of indirect instruction that can be used in class will be discussed and explored.

CREATIVITY & CRITICAL THINKING - Life Skills Training for High SchoolYetunde Macaulay
Creativity and critical thinking are fundamental to students becoming successful learners. The ability to think critically is an essential life skill; as the world changes at an ever-faster pace and economies become global, young adults are entering an expanding, diverse job market. To remain relevant in the highly competitive world that we are today, it is necessary now more than ever before to ensure that you possess the thinking power to flexibly and creatively solve problems on a daily basis.
Rich Dad, Poor Dad Introduction
Critical thinking is a valuable skill that will help you to analyse, evaluate, and understand information and ideas more effectively.
Nowadays normally people Especially Students are not able to think out of the box, think smarter not harder they need to work on the art of Critical thinking.
It’s not just about thinking harder but thinking smarter. Here, we’ll explore the art of critical thinking in a straightforward way.
Critical thinking skills a guide for problem solvingWasifHossain7
Feeling challenged by the problems in your business? Looking for creative and strategic ways of solving problems? Your journey can start with critical thinking and problem-solving training. In a business environment, you are always searching for opportunities. Problems are opportunities in disguise. To become a problem-solver, you are on a mission to learn the art of thinking critically and creatively.
2. Begin with the End in Mind…
“The formulation of a problem is often more
essential than its solution, which may be
merely a matter of mathematical or
experimental skills. To raise new questions,
new possibilities, to regard old questions from
a new angle, requires creative imagination
and marks real advances. . .”
--Albert Einstein
3. An Effective Problem Scenario
Engages the learner in a complex
problem
Gives only necessary information
Gives learners a sense of their stake in
the issue
Gives learners a role to play (product)
4. Problem-Based Learning
Requires the application of skills and
knowledge
Is interdisciplinary
Develops critical and creative thinking,
collaboration, and joy in learning
5. The Process
Brainstorm ideas/possibilities
Recognize the problem
Define the problem
Generate a series of steps
Set priorities
Gather information
Generate possible solutions
Evaluate solutions
Determine the best fit
Present the Solution
Debrief the Problem and Process
6. Brainstorming Ideas
In what ways is the problem authentic?
What is engaging about the problem?
What is the role of the students?
What are the issues connected to this
problem?
7. Recognize the Problem
What do you know about the problem? How
do you know that?
What information do you need to accomplish
the task? How can you find it?
What questions do you still have? What else
should you consider?
What can we do to get more information?
What are some good resources?
8. Define the Problem
How can we as interdisciplinary artists
create a work of art which exercises the
creativity of each student, develops a
product or presentation and offers a
solution to the problem addressed?
9. Set Priorities
You must identify and define the problem you want
to solve.
You must research and find additional information to
determine “What Do I/We Know/Need to Know” and
create a problem statement.
You should gather information, recognize that
multiple solutions are possible, and determine the
best fit for you.
You must present the solution in a performance or
product and then debrief the process you went
through along the way.
10. Gathering Information
What are sources of information?
(Where can we get information?)
How do we verify source validity and
determine relevance? (Is it important?
How do you know?)
What do you understand about the
problem?
11. Generating Possible Solutions
Do we have enough information?
What are our options?
What are possible solutions?
Do the proposed solutions meet the
conditions in the problem statement?
12. Determining Best Fit
Have we considered all the stakeholders?
The criteria?
What are the pros and cons of each solution?
In what ways might you need to defend your
position?
Is this a realistic solution?
Have we reached consensus about the best
fit?
13. Presenting the Solution
How can we communicate effectively
with the identified audience?
What should be presented and how
should it be presented?
What would constitute a good
performance/product?
14. Debriefing the Problem and
Process
What worked and what didn’t? How do we
know?
What did you see in other presentations that
differed from yours?
What would you have included/left out?
What would be the best solution?
Did everyone participate/contribute?
