Problem Based Learning

Problem Based Learning (or PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students learn about a subject through the experience of solving an open-ended problem. Butterfly Pavilion educators will work with your students to solve real world problems facing invertebrates and conservation.

You should opt PBLs because it fosters critical thinking, encourages collaboration, and enhances problem-solving skills. It shifts the focus from memorization to practical application, making learning more engaging for students. PBL also mirrors real-world scenarios, preparing students for challenges beyond the classroom. It turns education into a dynamic, hands-on adventure where students actively participate in their own learning journey.
