INTRODUCTION
COURSE CO-ORDINATOR
This is a three-day workshop on PBL. The first
day will be on the theoretical background of PBL.
The second day will be hands-on while the third
day, participants will be showcasing their
presentations. PBL has been defined as “active
learning” stimulated by, and focused round a
clinical, community or scientific problem. The key
notion is that learning commences as a problem,
query or question that the learner seeks to solve.
Herein lays the power of PBL because the learner
is required to solve a specific problem whilst
acquiring knowledge on how to solve similar
problems.
