How is Problem Based Learning implemented?

• Explore the issue

• State what is known

• Define the issue

• Research the knowledge

How is Problem Based Learning implemented?

• Investigate solutions

• Present and support the chosen solution

• Review your performance

Before Implementing Problem Based Learning (PBL)

1. Look for competencies that would meet the objectives and are ideal
for PBL. (You may use the K-12 Curriculum Guide)

2. Orient your class about PBL.

Before Implementing Problem Based Learning (PBL)

3. Provide a problem or have a brainstorm with a class in identifying a

problem that would be significant in solving real- world problems.

• Here are some problems that will allow students to apply the Writing
competencies provided previously:

Problem: Modular learning is not enough to

guide students in learning the English Language.
Expected Output: Writing an Academic Paper or
a Concept Paper

Learning
Students are challenged to develop a

that addresses the problem

Students will use many of their core skills

including critical thinking, teamwork,
communication, empirical and quantitative
analysis, and personal and social responsibility

Gold Standard PjBL: Project Based Teaching
Practices
When transitioning to PBL, one of the
biggest hurdles for many teachers is the need to
give up some degree of control over the classroom,
and trust in their students.

 But even though they are more often the

“guide on the side” than the “sage on the
stage,” this most certainly does not mean that
teachers don’t “teach” in a PBL classroom.
Many traditional practices remain, but are
reframed in the context of a project.

 Teachers create or adapt a
project for their context and

implementation from launch
to culmination while allowing
for some degree of student
voice and choice.
Teachers use standards to

Teachers explicitly and

Align to Build the
Standards Culture

Teachers work with students
to organize tasks and
schedules, set checkpoints and
deadlines, find and use
resources, create products and
make them public.
Teachers employ a variety Teachers use formative and
summative assessments of

Teachers engage in learning
