PBL Worldwide

  •  
PBL provides a potent format for interprofessional/ interdisciplinary learning; a problem allows students from various professions to understand one another's perspectives and concerns and develop a team approach towards tackling obstacles
  •  
To provide students with a mindset and methods to look for their own solutions so that they become independent, resourceful and flexible learners and community members
  •  
Students practice application and simulation of real world skills that one needs in the job and social place
  •  
Students are introduced to true holistic learning that is more encompassing and has a longer & more relevant shelf-life
   
PBL is not about predetermined answers or solutions or using problem solving to test prior knowledge. Neither is it about a specific process, methodology or mode of operation. It is a philosophy of learning and teaching that embraces self and communal awareness, depth of understanding and ownership of learning.

Other renowned institutions of higher learning that use PBL:

University of Delaware
  Universiteit Maastricht
  University of Newcastle
  University of Queensland
  Monash University
  National University of Singapore
