TASK-BASED LEARNING (TBL) & PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING (PBL): TWO LEARNER-CENTERED APPROACHES IN EDUCATION
Abstract
In recent years, two educational approaches Task-Based Learning (TBL) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) have gained significant attention in classrooms worldwide. Both are learner-centered methodologies that prioritize active engagement, critical thinking and practical application of knowledge. These approaches represent a shift from traditional teacher directed models toward more dynamic, student-driven learning environments. In this article is explored these two methods, highlighting the insights of experts and scientists on their effectiveness and impact on student outcomes.
