๐ Foundations of PBL, process, assessment rubrics, assessing metacognition, examples of PBL scenarios and more.
The problem-based learning (PBL) design is an instructional model that is based on the constructivist theory. This approach has been widely practised to enhance studentsโ learning experience and to link their experience to the world by solving real problems. The foundation of constructivism in the problem-based learning (PBL) design emphasises practical experience in learning, decision making and the development of dynamic thinking and dialogue. In this course, you will learn the foundations of PBL, its process and examples of PBL scenarios.
