PROJECT BASED LEARNING (PBL)

• is an instructional methodology encouraging students by applying knowledge and skills

through an experience
•PBL presents opportunities for deeper learning infor the development of important skills tied
to college and career readiness

Characteristics of Project Based Learning

• Interdisciplinary

• Rigorous
• Student-centered

Interdisciplinary
Project based curriculum is designed to engage students world.

Rigorous

Project based education requires the application of skills, not just recall or recognition.

Student-centered
In PBL, the role of the teacher shifts from contentfacilitator/project

Examples of Project Based Learning in Education

• Research

• The Oscar goes

• Ancient

• Design a modern city in the year

Reasons to adopt a project based learning model:

• PBL is a pedagogical providing learning

• PBL helps build century skills students to

• PBL provides opportunities engage students in real learning

• PBL can be implemented in or in remote learning

PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING (PBL)

is a teaching method in complex real-world problems are used as the vehicle to

student learning of concepts and principles as opposed presentation of facts and concepts.

Characteristics of good PBL problems that transcend fields (Duch, Groh, and
Allen, 2001):
• The problem must motivate students to seek out a deeper understanding of concepts.
• The problem should require students to make reasoned decisions and to defend them.
•The problem should incorporate the content objectives in such a way as to connect it to
previous courses/knowledge.
• If used for a group project, the problem needs a level of complexity to ensure that the
students must work together to solve it.
• If used for a multistage project, the initial steps of the problem should be open-ended and
engaging to draw students into the problem.

Problem-based learning  (PBL) is a student-centered approach in which students learn about a

subject by working in groups to solve an open-ended problem. This problem is what drives the
motivation and the learning. 

Why Use Problem-Based Learning?

Nilson (2010) lists the following learning outcomes that are associated with PBL. A well-
designed PBL project provides students with the opportunity to develop skills related to:

• Working in teams.
• Managing projects and holding leadership roles.
• Oral and written communication.
• Self-awareness and evaluation of group processes.
• Working independently.

• Critical thinking and analysis.

• Explaining concepts.
• Self-directed learning.
• Applying course content to real-world examples.
• Researching and information literacy.
• Problem solving across disciplines.

Considerations for Using Problem-Based Learning

Students generally must:
Examine and define the problem.
Explore what they already know about underlying issues related to it.
Determine what they need to learn and where they can acquire the information and tools
necessary to solve the problem.
Evaluate possible ways to solve the problem.
Solve the problem.
Report on their findings.

Comparison between Project-Based Learning and Problem-Based Learning.

 Project-based Learning begins with the assignment of tasks that will lead to the
creation of a final product or artefact. The emphasis is on the end product.

- Students work on open-ended assignments. These could be more than one problem
- Students analyse the problems and generate solutions.
- Students design and develop a prototype of the solution
- Students refine the solution based on feedback from experts, instructors, and/or peers

Problem-based Learning begins with a problem that determines what students

study. The problem derives from an observable phenomena or event. The
emphasis is on acquiring new knowledge and the solution is less important.
• Students are presented with an open-ended, authentic question.
• Students analyse the question
• Students generate hypotheses that explain the phenomena.
• Students identify further follow-up questions
• Students seek additional data to answer the questions.
