What is PBL?
• Problem Based Learning (PBL) is a learning
method that uses the real problems that are
relevant and meaningful as the focus in the
learning process (UTM, 2005)
• According to Schmidt (1983), PBL provides an
environment in which students can draw upon
prior knowledge, learn within the real-world
context, and reinforce the knowledge through
independent and small group work.

process curriculum PBL


Definition
• critical knowledge,
learner • problem solving proficiency,
• self-directed learning strategies,
acquisition and team participation skills

• the commonly used systemic


process approach to resolving problems
or meeting challenges that are
replicates encountered in life and career
(Barrows & Kelson).
Other definitions
• PBL is an approach to structuring the curriculum which involves
confronting students with problems from practice which provides a
stimulus for learning (Boud & Feletti, 1991).
• Problem-based learning (PBL) is 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
(Duch,1995)
• Problem-based learning is a development and instructional
approach built around an ill-structured problem which is mess and
complex in nature; requires inquiry, information-gathering, and
reflection; is changing and tentative; and has no simple, fixed,
formula, "right" solution (Finkle & Torp, 1995).
• Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is an instructional strategy that
promotes active learning. PBL can be used as a framework for
modules, courses, programs, or curricula (Samford, 1998).
Principal of PBL
• The problem or trigger is the starting point in the
learning process
• student-centered learning, the students were given
guidance on how to solve a trigger/problem
• Lecturers have to be creative in generating an
appropriate ill- structured problem or trigger related
to the topic.
• Lecturer role as a facilitator, counsellor or motivator
for students.
• Trigger/problem based on the actual situation
