• Problem Based Learning (PBL)
– Definition
– Characteristics
– Basic Steps
– Advantages
Problem Based Learning (PBL)
• Began in 1950’s as a movement to
restructure medical education at McMaster
University (Canada)
• The main purpose of learning is not to
learn new information, but rather how to
solve important problems and how to
become independent learners.
Characteristics of Problem Based
Learning
• Requires students to solve authentic, real-
life open-ended problems with many
correct answers possible
• Authentic problems are those real-life
issues faced by doctors, nurses, social
workers, police officers, lawyers,
engineers, business administrators, pilots,
etc., etc., etc.
Characteristics of PBL
• Emphasizes students’ pre-existing
knowledge; “start with what you know”
• Students actively participate by helping
plan, organize, and evaluate the problem
solving process
• Interdisciplinary connections stressed
• Students undertake authentic roles
Basic Steps of Problem Based
Learning
• Students divided into groups
• Real problem is presented and discussed
• Students identify
– What is known in relation to the problem
– What information is needed
– What strategies or next steps to take in order to
“learn” the information/knowledge/skills needed
• Individuals research different issues, gather
resources
Basic Steps of PBL (con’t)
• Resources evaluated in group and new
information/knowledge/skills shared/taught to
rest of the group
• Cycle repeats until students feel that problem
has been framed adequately and all issues have
been addressed
• Possible actions, recommendations, solutions or
hypotheses are generated
• Tutor groups conduct peer/self assessments
Facilitators and Problem Based
Learning
• Teachers are seen as the “facilitator” and
are key to these learning environments
• Model higher-order process skills
• Probe for student understanding
• Never identify issues or state an opinion
while students are framing the problems
Advantages of Problem Based
Learning
• Greater retention and recall of knowledge
• Interdisciplinary:
– can require accessing and using information from a
variety of subject domains;
– Better integration of knowledge
– Integration of classroom & field
• Development of life-long learning skills
– How to research
– How to communicate in groups
– How to handle problems
Advantages of PBL
• Learning environment that is
– Active
– Cooperative
– Self & peer assessed
– Student centred
– Highly effective
• Learning environment that provides
– Prompt feedback
– Opportunities to account for personal learning
preferences & multiple intelligences
– Opportunities to allow for a variety of levels of
learning
Advantages of PBL
• Learning environment that enhances
critical thinking and problem solving skills
• Greatest strength of PBL is:
– Increased motivation
– Increased student satisfaction
– Increased Student-student interaction
– Increased Student-instructor interaction
