Problem Based Learning

This document discusses problem-based learning, an educational approach that presents students with real-world problems to solve. Educators present problems and support student investigations and collaboration. The goals are to promote critical thinking skills and prepare students for real-life situations. Problem-based learning originated in science and math education. Students learn through symbolic and hypothetical thinking in school, versus applying general skills and knowledge to real objects and situations. The learning outcomes are developing critical thinking, social skills through collaboration, and independent learning through self-directed problem solving.

Critical Thinking: reaching conclusion based on sound inference
and judgment, researching
Social Skills: Real-life situations “out of school learning” by
enhancing collaboration tasks
Independent learning skills: Self-regulated learners asking
questions and seeking solutions to real problems on their own

Problem-based learning originated in science and mathematical education.
