Analyze and find the difference and similarities between problem based and project
based learning
Lo (2009, p. 208) proposed a six-stage process used in the adoption of the online PBL:
Role of Technology
Technology integrated in the PBL Activity
As the learners embark on an open-ended question collaboratively, there are a number of free
online tools that they can use from the commencement of the task to its completion especially
that some of the group tasks will be done outside the regular class hours.
These may facilitate and enhance PBL activities (Tambouris et al, 2012) in its different stages.

has opportunities for PBL that can be utilized by the learners to accomplish their task.
Productivity tools
Such as those for writing, presentations, spreadsheets, calendars, organizers, citations and
others are also available to assist learners and teachers in accomplishing required tasks and
outputs from a PBL activity
Past and more recent researches have proven PrBL to be beneficial in the development of
various skills
Researches:
1. Research methodology skills (Tiwari, Arya, & Bansal, 2017).
2. Oral communicative competence (Bakar, Noordin, & Rali, 2019).
3. Development of life skills (Wurdinger & Qureshi, 2015).
CONCLUSION
Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Project-Based Learning (PjBL) are effective approaches that
promote deep learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. By presenting learners with
real-world problems or projects, educators can foster engagement, autonomy, and
collaboration. These approaches prepare learners for future challenges and careers, and
educators should consider integrating PBL and PjBL into their teaching practices.
