Problem-Based Learning (PrBL) Science Scenario:

A shorter, more focused scientific inquiry might involve


students solving a specific environmental challenge,
such as:
❑ Investigating water quality in a local stream
❑ Analyzing pollution levels in a specific ecosystem
❑ Determining the most efficient method of reducing
plastic waste in school facilities
5 Principles of PBL (Ali, 2016)
1. It is a power of independent and self-directed learning.

2. Learning happens in a group and teacher is a facilitator.

3. All groups have to participate equally.

4. Students learn about motivation, teamwork, problem-solving,


and engagement with the task.

5. Materials such as data, photograph, and articles, can be used to


solve the problem.

According to Ghufron & Ermawati, (2018; p.666):

• Promotes self-confidence and motivation


• Reduces students’ nervousness during the
learning process
• Increases students’ responsibility in learning
• Makes students easily learn the material through
sharing of ideas
• Promotes problem-solving skills
• Promotes self-directed learning
• Promotes active learning
• Makes students explore many learning
resources
• Makes students develop positive attitude
towards learning
According to Baresh, Ali, & Darmi (2019)—
EFL Students:

• Enhances fluency in communication


• Improves grammar
• Increases comprehension
• Enhances good pronunciations and
intonations
• Enhances self-confidence
• Increases range of vocabulary
According to a study of Lin (2017), it was
revealed statistically that PBL students have:

• Improved reading comprehension


• High motivation intensity
• Higher desire to learn English and
communication
According to a study of Markušic and Sabljic
(2019), their data revealed that PBL is an
acceptable “methodological system” that:

• Interests students in activities


• Develops students’ critical thinking and
communication skills
• Encourages curiosity and exploratory
thinking
• Develops students’ love of reading
• Develops skills of connecting teaching
topics
Role of Technology in PBL
1. Online tools can help students to complete their tasks.

2. It allows learners to be actively connected and engaged in


the group task.

3. It allows teachers (as facilitators) to peep into the activities of each


learner so that they can provide feedback at any stage of the PBL activity.

4. Web 2.0 technologies are characterized by collaboration, sharing,


and networking which facilitates and enhances PBL activities.

5. Productivity tools such as those for writing also assist learners


and teachers in accomplishing required tasks and outputs.
It is an approach but has evolved as This method is based on John
a teaching method that engages Dewey’s principle of learning by
learners in a series of planned tasks doing, and Lev Vygotsky’s
resulting to the generation of constructivist theory of learning
solutions to real-world problems.

It is a student-centered approach as It is a collaborative learning activity


it takes into the account of the realm where learners work on an authentic
of experiences and interests of task guided by an open-ended
students. question
Project-Based Learning (PBL) Science Scenario:

In Mr. Darwin's science class, students tackle an eco-friendly school


conservation project. They investigate how the school can reduce
paper waste by examining workbook ordering practices.

Students:

❑ Identified the problem of unnecessary workbook purchases


❑ Researched paper conservation strategies
❑ Developed a comprehensive plan to reduce paper consumption
❑ Constructed arguments for implementing their solution
Research methodology Skills (Tiwari,
Arya, & Bansal, 2017).

It was revealed that students’ knowledge of the


topic take, searching review for the topic,
communication skills, data collection skills,
and analytical and presentation skills where
enhanced.
Oral communicative competence (Bakar,
Noordin,, & Rali, 2019).

The study revealed a significant improvement in


the learners’ overall oral communicative
competence of a 12-week intervention lessons
using PrBL as a strategy, which was also
concluded as an effective and recommended
strategy in English language teaching especially
for learners with low proficiency.
Development of life skills (Wurdinger &
Qureshi, 2015).

Their findings revealed that after taking the


PrBL course, there was a significant
difference in the mean score for the
following life skills: responsibility, problem-
solving, self-direction, communication, and
creativity skills.
