What is "problem-based learning"?
Problem-based learning is an educational approach where students learn by actively solving real-world problems. Instead of simply receiving information, students work in groups to research and explore solutions to complex issues, applying their knowledge and skills in the process. This approach encourages critical thinking, collaboration, and independent learning as students are challenged to find practical answers.
Examples
In the medical school, problem-based learning is used to train future doctors to diagnose and treat patients.
The engineering program incorporates problem-based learning to prepare students for solving complex engineering challenges in their careers.
