Problem-based learning (PBL) - Introduction
Introduction Problem based learning is a student-centred educational method which aims to develop problem - solving skills through a self- directed learning as a life time habit and team work skills. Untidy, messy, ill structured situations are given to the students in which they take the role of owner of the situation. Students observe the problem and learn about the solution, compared to traditional lecture based learning.
Problem based learning is a teaching method in which students’ learn through the complex and open ended
problems. These problems are real world problems and are used to encourage students’ learning through
principles and concept. PBL is both a teaching method and approach to the curriculum. It can develop critical
thinking skill, problem solving abilities, communication skills and lifelong learning. The purpose of this study is
to give the general idea of PBL in the context of language learning, as PBL has expanded in the areas of law,
education, economics, business, social studies, and engineering. It encourages students to develop skills that can
be useful for their future and in practical life within a team environment
