Once McMaster University has defined Problem-Based Larning (PBL) as ...
PBL is any learning environment in which the problem drives the learning. That is, before students learn some knowledge they are given a problem. The problem is posed so that the students discover that they need to learn some new knowledge before they can solve the problem.
Maastricht University's SEVENth STEP can be listed as mentioned below...
1. discuss the case and make sure everyone understands the problem
2. identify the questions that need to be answered to shed light on the case
3. brainstorm what the group already knows and identify potential solutions
4. analyse and structure the results of the brainstorming session
5. formulate learning objectives for the knowledge that is still lacking
6. do independent study, individually or in smaller groups: read articles or books, follow practicals or attend lectures to gain the required knowledge
7. discuss the findings
I will summarize these procedures and name as "Problem Based Oriented Learning, PBOL"
