 Problem-based learning is a instructional strategy which suggests learning will be more effective if **learners are faced with a practical problem** they need to solve. ​ Problem-based learning is a instructional strategy which suggests learning will be more effective if **learners are faced with a practical problem** they need to solve. ​

 +Different experimental results have been obtained using problem-based learning, but generally showing not much difference in declarative knowledge in students learning through problem-based design and those not using it. Still, there is evidence that problem-based learning **supports development of reasoning skills, problem-solving skills and self-directed learning skills**((For details see: [[http://​www.cogtech.usc.edu/​publications/​hmelo_ep07.pdf|Hmelo-Silver,​ C. E, R. G Duncan, and C. A Chinn. "​Scaffolding and achievement in problem-based and inquiry learning: A response to Kirschner, Sweller, and Clark. 2006]])).
