O B J E C T I V E S To define problem-based learning (PBL); To review research regarding the benefits of problem-based learning; To analyze an actual problem-based assignment done by Project DEgree students in spring 2011; To brainstorm ideas for problem-based learning in your classroom.

P R O B L E M – B A S E D L E A R N I N G D E F I N E D The Buck Institute for Education (BIE), a current forerunner in promoting Problem-Based Learning & developing Problem- Based projects, offers this definition: A systematic teaching method that engages students in learning essential knowledge and life-enhancing skills through an extended, student-influenced inquiry process structured around complex, authentic questions and carefully designed products and tasks.

W H Y P R O B L E M – B A S E D L E A R N I N G? Focuses on Meaning-Making rather than Fact-Collecting; Allows for deep learning of concepts; Encourages group work and constant collaboration with other students and instructor; Promotes integration and immediate application of learned concepts.
