What is PBL

Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered instructional strategy in which students collaboratively solve problems and reflect on their experiences. It was pioneered and used extensively at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The Materials department at Queen Mary, University of London was the first Materials department in the UK to introduce PBL. Characteristics of PBL are:
* Learning is driven by challenging, open-ended problems.
* Students work in small collaborative groups.
* Teachers take on the role as "facilitators" of learning.
