This document discusses the benefits of problem-based learning (PBL) over traditional teaching methods. It proposes using PBL to engage students by having them work in teams to research and solve real-world problems. The document outlines the key steps of PBL, including defining a problem, analyzing it, testing theories, and presenting solutions. It also distinguishes between well-structured problems, which have clear answers, and ill-structured problems that are more open-ended, like real-life issues. PBL is suggested as a way to promote critical thinking, problem solving, and skills relevant to life by giving students autonomy over their learning.

1. ITIS NOT THEIR FAULT MOST OF WHAT THEY LEARN IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT MAYBE SOMETIMES OUR STUDENTS FEEL BORED SEEMS TO BE GONE BY THE END OF THE EXAM!! IS IT WHAT WE TEACH THEM? OR IS IT THE WAY WE TEACH IT? WHAT IS CAUSING STUDENTS FEEL NOT-INVOLVED BY THE CLASS WHAT IF WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

2. Problem Based Learning WHAT IF OUR STUDENTS USE CRITICAL THINKING DISCUSS RESEARCH ALSO PROMOTING TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX BRAINSTORMING PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS TEAMWORK AMONG OTHER SKILLS RELEVANT TO SOLVE REAL PROBLEMS IN LIFE Problem BasedLearning FOR LEARNING INTRODUCING

3. Step 1 create a problem Find a real life situation Multiple solutions Organize students in to teams Must raise students interest

4. Step 2 problem analysis Students list known facts Lists unknown facts Research unknowns

5. Step 3 test theories Students must model the situations to test their theories Students generate possible solutions

6. Step 4 presenting Students select the solution that fits best Students present their solutions and methods

7. Types of problem Well structured Ill structured problem

8. Well-structured problem Easy to define All information provided A single answer Lack of motivation Not like a real life problem More like the train A and the train B kind of a problem

9. Thinking frame Read the problem Record important information Use pictures and diagrams if need Decide on the pictures Solve Check your answer THE PROBLEM WITH THIS PROBLEM IS THAT DOES NOT MATCH REAL LIFE

10. ILL-structured problem Like real life Not all information provided Must be often redefined Many solutions Must be define and re-defined often

11. Teaching is problem solving How can I teach this skill or concept? How can I make this more interesting or student-centered? How can I best assess learning? How can I incorporate this new strategy into my classroom? How can I create a solution where students want to learn

12. Real problems in curriculum Social studies Science Math Language & arts Health Physical education the

13. PBL Subject Based Learning Vs Learn it Apply it Give a problem to illustrate how to use it Identify what we need to know START START Learn it Problem posed Told what we need to learn

15. How can we create less expensive and more-green cars?

17. Promotes individualization

18. Motivates students to learn

20. General problem solving strategy

21. There are two types

22. Create Problem Solving (CPS)

24. Choose a solution that seems the best

25. Elaborate and refine

26. Implement the solution
