PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING
A particularly significant outcome of research, development and practice in higher education has been the advent of problem-based learning (PBL) as a mechanism to ‘get students to think’. Problem-based learning has been described by Barbara Duch of the University of Delaware as:
‘… an instructional method that challenges students to “learn to learn,” working cooperatively in groups to seek solutions to real world problems. These problems are used to engage students’ curiosity and initiate learning the subject matter. PBL prepares students to think critically and analytically, and to find and use appropriate learning resources.’
