Lesson 1.1
PBL is a method of teaching that generally culminates in an artifact made by the students. It is not to be confused with problem-based learning, case based learning or inquiry based learning. The role of the teacher is of facilitator in the PBL class. The teacher uses scaffolding and questioning to guide the student toward the answer, but does not give the answer.
