Problem-based Learning

Problem-based learning is the idea that students learn when they explore and discover in a particular context. Students take responsibility for their own learning because they can structure their new knowledge themselves. Consequently, the learning environment should be student-centered. They actively process information, using their prior knowledge to construct new knowledge.

Teaching strategies:

• Get students to work on particular problems, for which you will normally have to give them at least one problem-solving strategy. It can work even better if they can identify the problem that interests them most.
