This resource from the Institute for Transforming Undergraduate Education at the University of Delaware outlines the essential characteristics of effective Problem-Based Learning (PBL) problems. Good PBL problems should relate to real-world scenarios, motivate students, require them to make decisions, and be designed for collaboration. They must pose open-ended questions that encourage discussion and incorporate course content objectives, promoting higher-order thinking and essential skills. A rubric for evaluating PBL problems is also provided, enabling educators to assess their effectiveness in fostering student learning.
