Problem-based Learning (PBL) is an instructional approach that articulates higher order thinking. Instead of lecturing, students are presented with a real-life and problematic scenario that requires them to provide solutions. Through the inquiry process, students learn collaboratively and develop problem-solving skills with teacher's guidance. In this module, the instructional practice of PBL, the multifaceted roles of teachers in implementing PBL in daily teaching and the techniques of facilitating students in a PBL experience will be explained. Participants will have an experience of planning a PBL cycle in their individual projects.
