1. Problem-Based Learning
(PBL)
An Introduction

2. Begin with the End in Mind…
“The formulation of a problem is often more
essential than its solution, which may be
merely a matter of mathematical or
experimental skills. To raise new questions,
new possibilities, to regard old questions from
a new angle, requires creative imagination
and marks real advances. . .”
--Albert Einstein

3. An Effective Problem Scenario
Engages the learner in a complex
problem
Gives only necessary information
Gives learners a sense of their stake in
the issue
Gives learners a role to play (product)

4. Problem-Based Learning
Requires the application of skills and
knowledge
Is interdisciplinary
Develops critical and creative thinking,
collaboration, and joy in learning

5. The Process
Brainstorm ideas/possibilities
Recognize the problem
Define the problem
Generate a series of steps
Set priorities
Gather information
Generate possible solutions
Evaluate solutions
Determine the best fit
Present the Solution
Debrief the Problem and Process

6. Brainstorming Ideas
In what ways is the problem authentic?
What is engaging about the problem?
What is the role of the students?
What are the issues connected to this
problem?

7. Recognize the Problem
What do you know about the problem? How
do you know that?
What information do you need to accomplish
the task? How can you find it?
What questions do you still have? What else
should you consider?
What can we do to get more information?
What are some good resources?

8. Define the Problem
How can we as interdisciplinary artists
create a work of art which exercises the
creativity of each student, develops a
product or presentation and offers a
solution to the problem addressed?

9. Set Priorities
You must identify and define the problem you want
to solve.
You must research and find additional information to
determine “What Do I/We Know/Need to Know” and
create a problem statement.
You should gather information, recognize that
multiple solutions are possible, and determine the
best fit for you.
You must present the solution in a performance or
product and then debrief the process you went
through along the way.

10. Gathering Information
What are sources of information?
(Where can we get information?)
How do we verify source validity and
determine relevance? (Is it important?
How do you know?)
What do you understand about the
problem?

11. Generating Possible Solutions
Do we have enough information?
What are our options?
What are possible solutions?
Do the proposed solutions meet the
conditions in the problem statement?

12. Determining Best Fit
Have we considered all the stakeholders?
The criteria?
What are the pros and cons of each solution?
In what ways might you need to defend your
position?
Is this a realistic solution?
Have we reached consensus about the best
fit?

13. Presenting the Solution
How can we communicate effectively
with the identified audience?
What should be presented and how
should it be presented?
What would constitute a good
performance/product?

14. Debriefing the Problem and
Process
What worked and what didn’t? How do we
know?
What did you see in other presentations that
differed from yours?
What would you have included/left out?
What would be the best solution?
Did everyone participate/contribute?
