Abstract:
The main objective of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is to develop problem-solving skills, collaborative learning skills, self-directed learning skills, communication skills, deeper learning skills, lifelong learning skills, and better retention in the students to equip them better in their professional careers. Unlike the traditional curriculum which is mainly based on didactic lectures, PBL is based on a group of students working on a problem and solving it. PBL is a promising teaching and learning tool that can be adopted in all fields, especially in Medical and Dental curricula.
