Engaging curriculum model
Problem Based Learning
Curriculum Model
In PBL classrooms, students are
presented with realistic problems
that have been carefully crafted to
address course goals and
objectives…..
As they solve the problem, students
learn group skills, problem-solving
techniques, investigative techniques,
disciplinary content, and begin to
think like experts in the field.
