Problem-Based Learning

Problem-Based Learning is learning by solving real-life problems. Instead of starting with lessons, students are given a challenging problem to figure out. They work together, ask questions, and research to find solutions, while learning the skills and knowledge they need along the way. For example, instead of memorizing science facts, students might solve a problem like cleaning up a polluted river. In short, it’s about learning through tackling meaningful, real-world challenges.
