Using Problem Based Learning to Cultivate New Learning

<p>When students are asked to work together on Problem Based Learning Tasks, they are given an opportunity to ponder and solve challenges using the knowledge, skills and affect they already possess and integrate those with what they have taken from their reading of a book for instance. They are therefore deepening learning and mastering new skills as they progress. If you have any questions about this, just ask yourself what happens to you when you set about attempting something you have never done before. It is exactly the same process.</p>
