PBL

Problem Based Learning or in short form it is known as PBL. Through this learning, it will introduced to us students-centered pedagogy in which student learn the subject in the context of complex. What i like the most about the PBL is it opens up the space for students to point out their ideas that they get from their prior knowledge. So, i can share my knowledges together with my friends. This PBL learning also has boosted my motivation’s level. It occurs when everyone in the group are being responsible to find out the answer and represented it to the friends. Moreover, by doing this PBL, it can help me to increased my socialized and communicated skills whether among the students or with the instructors. The development of life-long learning process can also be one of it’s advantages of PBL.

Based on this development, students can have the skills on how to do research, handle with the problems and how to communicate in groups properly. Besides that, the PBL learning also make me feel more enjoyable to discover the problems because it promotes the curiosity in myself. In other words, i can say that the PBL learning gives us the oppotunities to have independent learning. Being a proactive thinkers also has been focussed in this learning.The value such as teamwork can also be applied during learning from the PBL. This teamwork will help us to discover our potential towards the leadership skills. The disadvantages of PBL is it requires lots of time to settle out a certain topics. This PBL also introducing higher cost as it needs technological instruments such as laptop and internet access in order for them to solve their problems as an alternative methods besides used the books. This PBL learning will give lots of problem for those passive students and lower-thinking students. In PBL, it is more on students participants to be active and they also need to change their study’s habit from memorizations of facts to be more active learners in searching the information required.

The other weakness of PBL is when there is sleeping partner in a group. This situation will affect for the whole process of group’s studying. Futhermore, is about the comitments. Students with low comitments will not go deep into the sources to get the clear informations. Therefore, all the member’s group will not get the answers that they are really wants. For the facilitator, they needs to encourage students to be active and brave enough to represent what they have search for. Facilitators also have to make sure that the students are on the track for their discussion.
