Problem-based learning (PBL) is an educational approach that emphasizes active learning through the exploration and resolution of real-world problems. In PBL, students work in small groups to identify, analyze, and propose solutions to complex, open-ended problems. This method encourages critical thinking, collaboration, and self-directed learning. PBL has been shown to enhance students' problem-solving skills, motivation, and retention of knowledge. It is widely used in medical schools, as well as in other disciplines such as engineering, business, and education.
