Problem-based learning (PBL) is a model where students engage with complex and challenging problems. Then the students work collaboratively toward a resolution. PBL is about students connecting disciplinary knowledge to real-world problems. Further, the motivation to solve a problem becomes the motivation to learn. In PBL, the teacher acts as a facilitator and mentor, rather than a source of solutions. PBL provides the learner with opportunities to examine and try out what he/she knows. The learner discovers what they need to learn. The learner also improves her/his communications skills. Finally, the learner practices the skills that she needs after her education.
PBL History
The first application of PBL was in medical schools which rigorously test the knowledge base of graduates. Medical professionals need to keep up with new information in their field and the skill of life-long learning is particularly important for them. Hence, PBL was thought to be well suited for this area. Since then many medical and professional schools, as well as undergraduate and graduate programs use PBL in some form, at varying capacities internationally.
PBL Process
1. Explore the ideas,
2. List what you know,
3. List out all the possible solutions and the learning issues,
4. Write up your solution and developing documents, and revise your ideas if necessary,
Hello Elnaz and Isaim,
I changed Isaim's video to a video describing Problem-Based Learning. I referenced the video as well. Let me know what you think!
Sometimes, a quick search leads to great results. Just found this website and thought it is not too late to share it. If anyone interested in PROBLEM BASED LEARNING
Sorry Elnaz and Iris, should have planned that video a little better. Caught up in the quality of the animation. Thanks for the help. You guys did a great job on the wiki.

Hi Isaim,
The video is about Project Based Learning, but we are actually gathering information about Problem-based learning. Thanks,
