Primary Discussion Response is due by Wednesday (11:59:59pm Central), Peer Responses are due by Sunday (11:59:59pm Central).

Problem-based learning (PBL) is broken down into 3 phases: understanding the problem, exploring the available information, and resolving the problem. Each phase includes a series of steps, as follows:

  1. Understand the problem.
    • Meet the problem: Orient yourself to the problem.
    • Determine what is known and what needs to be known or discovered.
    • Define the problem statement: What exactly is the problem?
  2. Explore the available information.
    • Collect information from a variety of sources.
    • Share and document information from discovery.
    • Generate possible solutions for comparison and consideration.
  3. Resolve the problem.
    • Determine the solution that best fits.
    • Present and justify the solution.
    • Debrief the problem with a conclusion and the lessons that you learned.

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Based on the description of PBL above, answer the following questions:

  • What are your overall thoughts on PBL?
  • What ideas and plans do you have about approaching each of the 3 main phases and related tasks?
  • What are the pros and cons of PBL?

Responses to Other Students: Respond to at least 2 of your fellow classmates with at least a 100-word reply about their Primary Task Response regarding items you found to be compelling and enlightening. To help you with your discussion, please consider the following questions:

  • What did you learn from your classmates' postings?
  • What additional questions do you have after reading the posting?
  • What clarification do you need regarding the posting?
  • What differences or similarities do you see between your posting and other classmates' postings?

Secondary Task Response: This is a terrific time to meet your fellow classmates, to learn a little bit about them, and for them to learn about you. Please introduce yourself in the Introductory Discussion Board that can be accessed via the Discussion Board link to the left. If you are not sure how to get started, begin by discussing your background and why you are in school. Feel free to mention your proudest accomplishments, and offer advice to others. Say something unique or fun about yourself!

    PBL is basically a composition of 3 words, i.e. “Problem,” “based,” “learning”. A problem is difficult to the students; an issue that is difficult to resolve with the existing knowledge level and/or way of thinking regarding the problems. In problem-based
