3. PROBLEM/ ISSUE BASED LEARNING An educational approach that challenges students to work cooperatively in groups to seek solutions to real-world problems and to develop skills to become self-directed learners. A process of acquiring and understanding of knowledge, skills in the context of an unfamiliar situation and applying that learning to the situation.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Problem Based Learning was created by HOWARD BARROWS in 1986 as an instructional method in medical school to prepare students their educational experiences for real world problems of practicing doctors; consequently, they began using problem-based learning environments to examine, diagnose and solve real-world patient problems. The students work in team and designed a medical practitioner who act as facilitator.
