Is it PBL?UC Ingot

Not all group work is PBL! You can use this brief checklist to help you determine if you are using PBL in your classroom!
     
  Is the problem given to students before a lecture?
  Do students work collaboratively in small groups to solve complex problems?
  Are the complex problems engaging and could they occur in the "real world?"
  Does student learning occur as a result of solving the problem?
  Does the educator serve as a guide or consultant rather than the purveyor of information?
  Does the problem require students to search for multiple sources of information?
  Do the students learn new social skills in communication, cooperation, collaboration, leadership, and problem-solving?
