Problem-Based Learning (PBL)
In a traditional classroom, students are often told what they need to learn, are assigned homework for practice, and tested at the end of a unit of study. In a PBL classroom, students are challenged with a problem to solve, identify what is needed to learn in order to solve the problem, then engage in learning by applying content to unique learning products using 21st century skills, including digital citizenship. In short, PBL comes as a response to the appliance of learning/skills in real world situations and/or problems.
Students work with partners or in groups to solve problems in a PBL classroom. Through facilitation, the teacher supports thinking strategies, guiding and monitoring students toward mastery of learning goals. Students use technology to demonstrate knowledge by creating unique, self-directed products. 21st century skills are embedded into the learning outcomes and grading rubrics.
