 LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of the lesson students should able to:
• discuss the salient features of problem-based learning and
project-based learning and their application to the attainment of
learning competencies and learning outcomes.
• analyze how technologies for teaching and learning can be
maximized in problem-based learning and project-based learning.
• share some performance standards from the Curriculum Guide
that can employ problem-based learning and project-based
learning.
NATURE OF PROBLEM BASED
LEARNING

Problem-Based Learning
(PBL) is a collaborative
approach that helps
learners develop essential
skills like problem-solving,
communication, and
research, aiming to achieve
learning competencies.
1. It is a power of independent and self-
directed learning.

2. Learning happens in a group and

FIVE
teacher is a facilitator
3. All groups have to participate

PRINCIPLES
equally
Ali(2019)
4. Students' learn about motivation,
teamwork, problem-solving and
engagement with the task.
5. Materials such as data, photographs,
articles, can be used to solve
 SIX STAGES
PROCESS Le( 2009)
1. Identifying the problem-current issues that
do not have just one answer or one definite
solution;

2. Brainstorming-generate ideas; tackle the

problem through self- directed questioning;
arouse students' intrinsic motivation;
3. Collecting and analyzing the information
assigning group members to collect
information; posting what they found and
what they learned; collaborative collection
of useful information;

4. Synthesizing information-solving the

synthesized relevant data; knowledge
building; problem through.
 5. Co-building knowledge-presentation of
the solution to the learning problem/ issue;
and

6. Refining the outcomes-giving of feedback

and suggestions by the instructor to help
students
 1. Promotes self-confidence and motivation

2. Reduces students' nervousness during the learning process

3. Increases students' responsibility in learning

5. Promotes problem-solving skills

6. Promotes self-directed learning ( Gufron & Ermawati

 SO HOW IS
TECHNOLOGY
INTEGRATED IN
PROBLEM BASED
LEARNING ACTIVITY?
 ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY

Technology is integrated
into PBL activities by
providing free online tools
for learners to engage in
group tasks, even outside
regular class hours. These
tools allow active
participation and monitoring
of individual contributions.
 PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS

Productivity tools like writing,

presentations, spreadsheets,
calendars, organizers, and
citations are available for PBL
activities.
 PROJECT BASED LEARNING

(PBL/PBA) is a student-centered approach

that involves students working on planned
tasks to generate solutions to real-world
problems. It is based on John Dewey's
learning by doing principle and Vygotsky's
constructivist theory, promoting social
construction of knowledge. Each member
contributes to the problem's solution.
 Past and more recent
researches have proven PrBL
to be beneficial in the
development of various skills
such as:
 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
SKILLS
Tiwari, Arya, & Bansal's research
methodology skills study reveals that PrBL
enhances students' knowledge, skills, and
interaction with students, enhancing their
research methodology, communication, data
collection, and analytical abilities. This
approach significantly improves students'
overall knowledge and engagement.
 ORAL COMMUNICATIVE
COMPETENCE
The communicative strategy of using PrBL
activities significantly improved the oral
communicative competence of 44 Malaysian
English language learners, highlighting its
effectiveness as a suitable teaching strategy,
particularly for those with low proficiency in
the language.
 DEVELOPMENT OF LIFE SKILLS

Wurdinger & Qureshi's study found a

significant difference in the development of
life skills after a mixed-method approach,
including PrBL, which significantly improved
the mean scores for responsibility, problem-
solving, self-direction, communication, and
creativity.
