- 4. PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING • A teaching method in which significant real-world situations are utilized as the vehicle to facilitate student understanding of principles and concepts. • It involves critical thinking to examine problems that lack a well-defined answer and students are given a problem with only preliminary information and they work towards solving the problems themselves. • This fosters the students ’ metacognitive skills. It can provide opportunity for collaborative work, discovering and assessing research materials, and life- long learning.
- 6. • A teaching method in which students learn by actively engaging in real-world issues and creating meaningful projects that propose solutions. • This requires thorough planning since students are dealing with a challenging problem or question with several potential solutions to investigate. They also need to devise a strategy and produce a product or artifact that addresses the problem. • This require students to use many of their core skills including critical thinking, teamwork, communication, empirical and quantitative analysis. PROJECT-BASED LEARNING
- 8. PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING PROJECT-BASED LEARNING • Individual or group • Create a product that addresses the problem • Outcomes: case-specific understanding and practical products • Main activity: Student producing applicable results • Self-directed learning: student centered within predefined project frame • Groups • Lack a well-defined answer • Outcomes: deeper understanding and theory building • Main activity: Student’s inquiry of problematic situation • Self-directed learning: fully student-centered in loosely pre-defined setting BOTH • Teacher as facilitator and resource guide • Student-centered • Engage into real world tasks • Active learning • Formative and performance- based(peer) evaluation

- 10. The aim of social studies is to educate learners about the interconnected world and the democratic society. However, in order to comprehend our world, one must be well-versed in how to deal with real-world issues. In social studies with problem-based learning, students may be asked to examine specific existing societal problems, students may work independently or self-directedly, or in small groups. It emphasizes on the student's reflection and reasoning in order to create and develop their own learning. PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING IN SOCIAL STUDIES
- 11. Integrating project-based learning into social studies that focuses on content matter creates a compelling student- centered learning experience. It can help students to have a clear and depth understanding on the subject since in project-based, learners are required to have intensive planning, to go beyond facts and investigate societal issues with a focus on developing solutions that can be a response to an underlying real-world problem.
