Project-Based Learning (PBL) is one of the hottest buzzwords in education, and it’s easy to see why.PBL combines standards-based curriculum with empowering students to solve real world challenges. Through projects, students master skills—critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboratio

Problem-based learning (PBL) is a teaching strategy that involves the minimum amount of direct and formal instruction common in lecture-based teaching. In a PLB model, students are provided with a problem/s to work on and during the process, they get to learn the lesson content and theoretical knowledge underlying the problem. PBL is an awesome way to stimulate students’ cognitive skills and engage them in hands-on learning. PBL is student-centered and focuses on the process leading to understanding, thus, preparing students for real-world scenarios. It is also a cross-disciplinary approach in that it cultivates skills necessary for learning across multiple disciplines. Some skills include;
• Teamwork • Independent learning • Communication skills • Problem-solving skills • Interdisciplinary skills • Information-mining skills • Higher-order thinking skills With PBL problems are there to sustain student’s engagement and drive their learning. A well-structured problem in PBL should have the following requirements; • Contain multiple solution paths • Change as new information is obtained • Contain content that is authentic to the discipline • Generate interest and controversy and cause the learner to ask questions • Prevent students from knowing that they have made the "right" decision • Require more information for understanding the problem than is initially available • Be open-ended and complex enough to require collaboration and thinking beyond recall. Problem-based learning is not a new approach to learning and technology today allows students to tackle real challenges as part of the learning experiences. Using technology in problem-based learning improves communication, collaboration, and productivity among students globally. Collaborative problem-based learning allows students to take greater ownership of both the problem and the solution. The article has made me think about incorporating problem-based learning in the Home Economics classroom and how it will allow students to have more control over their own learning. PBL in the Home Economics classroom can be hugely beneficial as for every topic there are often multiple pathways and stakeholders’ perspectives that contain the ‘solution’ to the problem. PBL and digital technology at the redefinition level can be incorporated in the Home Economics classroom, particularly the sustainable fast fashion unit, through small group documentaries. This allows students to be creative, control the direction of their work and collaborate.

What a very in-depth curation, Sophie! I thought this article was a great read myself and I agree completely with your point on technology enhancing PBL. I enjoy how you've related it back to your subject area - you have enhanced my pedagogy and given me ideas for my Business classroom!

So you are not sure how to redesign your classroom into a lean, mean independent knowledge acquiring machine that runs on the high octane fuel of problem-based learning.
Think of this as the way to implement SAMR model rather than examples of it. Those are coming at you now.

Teaching problem based learning is not my strong point, yet. This definitely helps create a mind or concept map for any mini units you would like to create for your students.

Problem based learning is a great way to keep it real and authentic. A great poster to help guide students to a solution that they can own and be proud of - their very own ah-ha! moments

I re-scooped this article from a fellow student because I feel that the representation of facts in this article is interesting and much easier to follow. I really enjoyed this article!

Such a great article to really summarise problem-based learning into more succinct tips and ideas. This works especially for pre-service teachers where they might not know their students or have built a rapport yet and are stuck for ideas on how to implement this type of learning in their classroom.
