2. PROBLEM BASED LEARNING
( PBL )

3. INTRODUCTION
Problem Based Learning (PBL) is a student centred
pedagogy in which students learn about a subject
through the experience of problem solving. They
learn both thinking strategies and domain
knowledge. It is a style of active learning.

4. GOALS OF PROBLEM BASED
LEARNING
• To help the students develop flexible knowledge
• Effective problem solving skills
• Self-directed learning
• Effective collaboration skills
• Intrinsic motivation

5. THE CONSTRUCTS FOR TEACHING
PBL IS DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF
TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM
TEACHING
• Student centred learning
• Learning is done in small groups
• Teachers guide the students rather than teach
• It stimulates cognitive process
• New knowledge is obtained through Self-directed
learning (SDL)

6. 5 CRITERIAS FOR INSTILLING
PROBLEM BASED LEARNING IN
CLASSROOMS
• Centrality
• Driving Question
• Constructive Investigations
• Autonomy
• Reality

7. CHARACTERISTICS OF PROBLEM
BASED LEARNING
• Learn by challenging, open ended questions with
no tough answers
• Problems are context based
• Students are active investigators
• A key problem is identified and a key solution is
found out and implemented
• Teachers promote an environment of inquiry

8. AS A STRATEGY, IT:
• Develops critical thinking and creative skills
• Improves problem solving skills
• Increases motivation
• Promotes active learning
• Helps learners to transfer knowledge to new
situation

9. CONCLUSION
Problem Based Learning (PBL) follows a
constructivist perspective in learning. Feedback,
reflection and group dynamics are its essential
components. PBL assists to guide the student from
theory to practice during their journey through
solving the problem.
