Problem-based learning is a kind to teaching method. It's unlike with the traditional teaching method. It has no content given and your instructor only explain and present you the problem and we have to solve it and discover it by ourselves. It usually a group work and we have to discuss the problem and come out a concept and solutions to solve the problem. The instructor acts as mentor and facilitator rather than a source of finding solutions.
There are few steps we have to go through. The first step is instructor give us a problem. We have to identify the problem. Besides this, we have to know the strengths and capabilities of each team member has. So that, work can be done smoothly.
Step two will be brainstorming, develop the problem and write out the problem statement. Bubble diagram can help us to develop the problem and get the source of solutions. We have to list out few solutions and choose the best one or most likely succeed.
The next step is assign and schedule research tasks. Each of the team member have to handle their their task according to their strengths and capabilities. This step require you to fill in the missing gaps by doing research. The knowledge and data could help us to support our solution.
Step four will be state the solution and present the finding and recommendations to the team member. This included the questions, info gathered, analysis of data , and recommendations based on the data analysis.
Lastly, sharing your findings with the instructor and students. Integrate new knowledge and skills in the context of the problem and also summarize the process you used. This can help others learn as what you have learned.
In conclusion, PBL can help student prepares to apply their learning to real world situations. On the other hand, it enables student to become a producers rather than a consumers. Lastly, it could help them improve their communication skills and critical thinking skills.
