Problem-Base Learning (PBL) After beginning at McMaster University Medical School in 1969, PBL has evolved to become a mainstream tool helping support the constructivist theory of education. Wake Forest Universoty School of Medicine began incorporating PBL into medical education in the early 1990's, and later extended PBL into the K-12 community of Winston-Salem, NC. This process occured through the institutional support of The Center of Excellence for Research, Teaching and Learning (CERTL).PBL as a teaching and learning paradigm exhibits the following characteristics: it is student centric, the teacher functions as a facilitator, the student develops higher order thinking skills, students use collaborative learning, and students become self-directed learners, which in turn fostesrs self and peer evaluation. PBL problems must be authentic and contextual. |
