CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Abstract Problem-based learning (PBL) is a constructivist pedagogy in which students learn science and develop critical thinking skills by solving real-world problems in small groups. Studies have shown that PBL students are more motivated and become better learners.

Detailed explanation-2: -Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy based on the constructivist learning theory through collaboration and self-directed learning. With PBL, students create knowledge and comprehension of a subject through the experience of solving an open-ended problem without a defined solution.

Detailed explanation-3: -The term “Problem-Based Learning” (PBL) was originally developed by Barrows and Tamblyn (1980) for medical education. It is based on the Constructivist Theory of Learning. PBL is a pedagogical strategy that uses open ended / ill-structured problems that mirror real-world problems.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of constructivist classroom activities Reciprocal teaching/learning: a group of 2 or more students work together and teach one another. Inquiry-based learning: students create their own questions and seek to solve them through research and observations.

Detailed explanation-5: -The constructivist view of learning holds that meaningful learning occurs when people construct knowledge with the help of existing schemas and the viewpoints of others. Problem-based learning is one of the approaches that can be used in a constructive classroom to produce meaningful learning.
