Problem-based learning

Problem-based Learning (PBL) is a way of learning that teaches you by having you solve real-life problems. This means that instead of just listening to teachers and reading textbooks, you work on tasks together with the rest of the class that you can use in real life. For example, a PBL project might be to build a robot out of everyday items like cardboard, batteries, and motors. Everyone in the class would work together to come up with a solution to the problem. The teacher might provide guidance as the class works, but it's up to the students to identify what ideas, materials, and methods will make the robot work. By solving the problem together, the students gain valuable skills in teamwork, problem solving, and creativity.
