Problem-Based Learning - Wikipedia

Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered approach where learners solve open-ended problems to acquire knowledge and develop skills such as collaboration and critical thinking. Originating in medical education, PBL emphasizes group work and reflection, allowing students to identify what they know and what they need to learn. The tutor's role is to facilitate this process, marking a shift from traditional lecture-based teaching methods.

Not to be confused with Project-based learning.

Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered


pedagogy in which students learn about a subject
through the experience of solving an open-ended
problem found in trigger material. The PBL process
does not focus on problem solving with a defined
solution, but it allows for the development of other
desirable skills and attributes. This includes
knowledge acquisition, enhanced group collaboration
and communication. The PBL process was developed
for medical education and has since been broadened
in applications for other programs of learning. The
process allows for learners to develop skills used for
their future practice. It enhances critical appraisal,
literature retrieval and encourages ongoing learning
within a team environment.

The PBL tutorial process involves working in small


groups of learners. Each student takes on a role within
the group that may be formal or informal and the role
often alternates. It is focused on the student's
reflection and reasoning to construct their own
learning. The Maastricht seven-jump process involves
clarifying terms, defining problem(s), brainstorming,
structuring and hypothesis, learning objectives,
independent study and synthesis.[1] In short, it is
identifying what they already know, what they need to
know, and how and where to access new information
that may lead to the resolution of the problem. The
role of the tutor is to facilitate learning by supporting,
guiding, and monitoring the learning process.[2] The
tutor aims to build students' confidence when
addressing problems, while also expanding their
understanding. This process is based on
constructivism. PBL represents a paradigm shift from
traditional teaching and learning philosophy,[3] which
is more often lecture-based. The constructs for
teaching PBL are very different from traditional
classroom or lecture teaching and often require more
preparation time and resources to support small group
learning. PBL can facilitate students to learn and
understand complex concepts and theories such as
STEM, engineering design problems, etc.[4]
