What are the benefits of implementing PBL?

What are the steps in PBL?

INFO TO US The PBL can, regardless of discipline, enhance students' achievement of both professional skills and process skills.

Therefore, higher education institutions should consider shifting to PBL. The shift to PBL cannot be accomplished as a sudden change. It should be considered as a strategic change and the necessary measures should be taken for successful completion of change (Anette Kolmos et al., 2007) .

Benefits of Implementing PBL 1. Students will undergo the similar process approached in PBL when going into working environment.

2. Students will not learn the facts, skills and concept in single entity, but they will find the three entities are interrelated.

3. Soft skills (e.g. leadership, team working, presentation skill, communication, problem solving) can be enlightened in students’ personal.

Crabby PBL–FILA Model Hey, Mr. Red Crab, we blue crabs have big problem! These crazy dogs are killing and eating our brothers and sisters on the beach.

So you have problem Mr. Blue Crab?

Let us look at the FACTs, then we throw in some IDEAs before we start new LEARNING ISSUEs .

How’s that?

Didn’t your mother teach you to walk sideways?

The FACT is we blue crabs don’t walk sideways on the beach like you red crabs. The beach is a dangerous place, it’s too opened. Manoeuvrability and defensiveness is most important.

We must use our legs for directional mobility more and position our claws to ward off our enemies.

No. We didn’t have a real mother, we were adopted and our foster mother is a pigeon. We fail flying.

How to Apply PBL in Engineering Education?

It is quite challenging to implement PBL in our engineering education particularly in Civil Engineering course. However the use of PBL in engineering education has become increasingly popular teaching method and many universities have reported the use of PBL in their learning process.

PBL Model:

Aalborg University in Denmark uses common traditional teaching approach in a common first year subjects such as mathematic, physics and computer science. In the remaining 2-4 years of study half subjects contains projects, quarter fundamental knowledge and the final quarter is knowledge that support the projects.

At this period, the PBL is strongly recommended to be used in the class according to their level of knowledge that they have gathered since the first year of their study.
