Problem Based Learning (PBL) is a method of teaching in which students are encouraged to think about a particular problem or scenario that is set within a real-world framework. Key to this is that the problem is complex and has no single solution. Through a staged sequence of problems or tasks backed up with resources, students acquire relevant subject-specific and key transferable skills. The main components of PBL are group work, problem solving, and discovering new knowledge.
