Problem-Based Learning: Design,

Implementation, and Assessment


Adapted from Genareo & Lyons
(2015)
Introduction to Problem-Based
Learning (PBL)
• - PBL is a student-centered, inquiry-based
instructional model.
• - Engages learners with authentic, ill-
structured problems.
• - Promotes critical thinking, collaboration, and
self-directed learning.
Benefits of PBL
• - Develops problem-solving and metacognitive
skills.
• - Increases engagement and intrinsic
motivation.
• - Prepares students for real-world challenges.
• - Encourages ownership of learning.
Step One: Identify
Outcomes/Assessments
• - Focus on process-oriented outcomes like
collaboration and research.
• - Develop formative and summative
assessments:
• - Group contracts, self/peer-evaluations,
reflections.
• - Writing samples, rubrics, and presentations.
Step Two: Design the Scenario
• - Create a real, complex problem related to
the course content.
• - Ensure the scenario is motivating and
generates discussion.
• - Examples:
• - Environmental issues, healthcare
challenges, business dilemmas.
Step Three: Introduce PBL
• - Practice with an easy problem to familiarize
students with the process.
• - Provide clear expectations, rubrics, and
timelines.
• - Groups tackle scenarios collaboratively.
Step Four: Research
• - Groups define the problem and identify
knowledge gaps.
• - Write problem statements or research
questions.
• - Assign roles and conduct research to test
hypotheses.
• - Adjust hypotheses based on findings.
Step Five: Product Performance
• - Students synthesize research into
presentations or products.
• - Examples:
• - Research posters, reports, multimedia
presentations.
• - Emphasize collaboration and practical
solutions.
Step Six: Assessment
• - Evaluate products using rubrics for clarity,
feasibility, and research-based solutions.
• - Use peer/self-evaluations and reflections to
gauge participation.
• - Collect daily and final reflections on learning.
Cyclical Nature of PBL
• - PBL is iterative: revisiting and refining
hypotheses is encouraged.
• - Example:
• - Groups hypothesize about an issue,
research its feasibility, and adapt their
approach.
• - Encourages continuous improvement.
Conclusion
• - PBL fosters critical thinking, collaboration,
and lifelong learning.
• - Flexible and adaptable to various disciplines.
• - Ready to implement PBL to enhance student
engagement and outcomes.
