Definition

  • Problem-based learning (PBL) is a catchall term for several educational strategies, each of which employs different terminology and instructional purposes. While PBL strategies may be called PBL modules, scenarios, vignettes, critical incident analyses, or teaching cases (not to be confused with case study methodology), they share in common that they employ problems in the instructional process.
