Problem-Centered Design

Problem-centered design draws on social problems, needs, interests, and abilities of learners. It emphasizes various problems centered around life situations, contemporary issues, and areas of living. There are two main types: life-situations design which uses learners' past and present experiences to analyze basic areas of living; and core problem design which centers on common human activities and focuses on shared needs, problems, and concerns of learners. The design process involves identifying important problems through group consensus and criteria before defining and addressing the problems.
