Problem-based learning involves learners working collaboratively in small groups to solve open-ended problems focused on specific content standards and their real-world application. Learners develop skills like problem-solving, communication, and research. The process is facilitated by the teacher and follows stages like identifying the problem, gathering information, and refining outcomes. Project-based learning also engages students in collaborative work on authentic tasks to address real-world issues, applying principles of learning by doing and social construction of knowledge. Students take on roles to contribute to solutions that reflect issues in their community.

PROBLEM-BASED AND
PROJECT-BASED LEARNING NATURE OF PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING
Problem-based learning is an approach that involves a
process of inquiry and solving open-ended questions that serve as the main problem that the learners will work on. The type of questions posited is focused on a specific content standard and its application to real- life issues. It also requires more than one solution or answer. Learners are engaged in collaborative task as they work towards the solution to the problem. This learning activity is done in small groups with each member assigned a certain task to accomplish. In the process of engaging in PBL, they learn several skills such as problem-solving, communicating, research, among others which are essential in the workplace. The end goal of PBL is to ensure that the target learning competencies are achieved in the process. Ali (2019) proposed five principles of PBL that can be considered by teachers in planning: 1. Independent and self-directed learning. 2. Learning happens in a group and teacher is a facilitator. 3. All groups have participate equally. 4. Students’ learn about motivation, teamwork, problem solving and engagement with the task. 5. Materials such as data, photographs, articles, can be used to solve the problem. Lo (2009) proposed a six-stage process that was used in adoption of the online PBL: 1. Identifying the problem 2. Brainstorming 3. Collecting and analyzing information 4. Synthesizing information 5. Co-building knowledge 6. Refining the outcomes NATURE OF PROJECT-BASED LEARNING
Project-based learning is an approach but has evolved
as a teaching method that engages learners in a series of planned tasks resulting to the generation of solutions to real-world problems. It is a student- centered approach as it takes into account the realm of experiences and interest of students. This method is based on John Dewey’s principles of learning by doing and Vygotsky’s constructivist theory of learning that advocates social construction of knowledge. It works collaboratively with PBL where learners work on an authentic task guided by an open-ended question. Each member has an assigned role that will contribute to the solution of the problem that was identified which reflects the real issues in their community or the world at large. ? ? Questions? ? ?
