Problem Based Learning by Marilyn
This document discusses how problem-based learning (PBL) connects to the Common Core standards. PBL engages students by designing real-world problems that stimulate meaningful experiences through problem-solving, collaboration, and resource sharing. An effective problem for PBL is student-centered, well-prepared, cognizant, and meaningful. PBL supports Common Core by using problems to drive skills acquisition and encourage exploration, with the process building real-world connections and content synthesis demonstrated through products. Collaboration and technology integration are key aspects of how PBL facilitates deeper learning aligned with Common Core.

Editor's Notes
- #5 What is problem-based learning? Though many people use the terms project-based learning and problem-based learning interchangeably, a distinction can be made based on whether the focus is on the product or on the process. Typically, with project-based learning the focus is on the outcome, the product. In problem-based learning the focus is on inquiry and the problem-solving process itself rather than on fashioning a product. The difference lies in the goal of the learning experience. We consider problem-based learning a subset of project-based learning, a particular type of project-based learning with the distinguishing feature of initiating learning with a problem, one that is open-ended, ill-structured, intricate, and then focusing on the complex process of solving it.
- #9 Why use problem-based learning? It promotes desirable student outcomes. Intentional learning (Bereiter & Scardamalia, 1989) refers to the purposeful construction of knowledge. Goal-setting is an important component as the learner establishes a personal agenda for acquiring knowledge and understanding information. Relational understanding (Skemp, 1978) may be defined as “knowing both what to do and why.” It stands in contrast to instrumental understanding, which is described as “rules without reason.” Also see Niedelman (1991).
