Problem-Based and Project-Based Learning Approaches: Lessons

Problem-based learning involves students critically examining ill-defined problems without preliminary information to develop potential solutions, whereas project-based learning presents students with complex questions having multiple solutions and requires developing a plan and creating a product to address the problem. Both approaches focus on open-ended questions, build 21st century skills through authentic applications of content in student-driven inquiry with teachers as facilitators, and are longer forms of experiential learning compared to traditional lessons.

Problem-based and Project-based learning approaches

Problem-based learning is a category of experiential learning that involves


students in the process of critical thinking to examine problems that lack a well-defined
answer. And the students are given a problem with only preliminary information. They
work towards solving the problem themselves, rather than reviewing how others have
resolved the situation or problem as in case study. They do not produce a product as in
project-based learning, and students are not necessarily working in the community
unless they are gathering data. More often single subject but can be multi- subject.
Tend to be shorter but can be lengthy classically follows specific traditionally prescribed
steps .the product maybe tangible or a proposed solution expressed in writing or in a
presentation. And often uses case studies or fictitious scenario as ill structured
problems. Deeper understanding theory building.

Project-based learning is a category of experiential learning where students are


presented with a complex problem or question that has multiple potential solutions and
possibilities for exploration. How ever after studying this problem question in their
teams, students are challenged to develop a plant and create a product or artifact that
addresses the problem. These projects, if done well, require students to use many of
their core skills including critical thing king, team work ,communication, empirical and
quantitative analysis ,and personal and social responsibility. Often multi subject may be
lengthy (weeks or months) .follows general variously named steps. Includes the creation
of products or performance. May use scenarious but often involves real-world fully
authentic tasks and settings. And also helps students apply what they learn to real-life
experiences and provides an all-around enriching education. also known as dynamic
approach to teaching in which students explore real-world problems and challenges
simultaneously developing cross curriculum skills while working in small collaborative
groups.
Both problem-based learning and project-based learning focus on an open –
ended question or task. provide authentic applications of content and skills. Build 21st
century success skills, emphasize students independence and inquiry. Are longer and
more multifaceted than traditional lessons, engage students in real world task teacher as
facilitator for learning and sesource guide. Both problem-based learning and project-
based learning are types of experiential learning. Problem-based learning involves
critical thinking to exam problems that lack a well-defined answer. In project-based
learning students are challenged to develop a pla and create a product or artifact that
addresses the problem.
