Problem Based Learning

Problem Based Learning is a group of teaching models that use problems as the focus for developing problemsolving skills, content, and self regulation. The responsibility for solving the problem rests with the students with the support of the teacher. When teacher doesn't provide enough guidance, students will founder, waste time and develop poor problem solving skills.
