Comparison between 'project-oriented' learning and problem-based learning (PBL) in design subject

摘要

Problem-based learning (PBL) is getting wide acceptance among the academia in institution of higher learning.udPBL is a student centred approached in teaching and learning. “Project Oriented” learning is widely used inudteaching design-based courses. On the other hand Problem-Based Learning establish from medical schools.udLooking at both approaches in teaching and learning, there seems to be some similarities. This paper describesudauthor’s personal experience in teaching design courses by “project-oriented (POL)” or project-based learning atudthe Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University Technology Malaysia. The comparisons between theseudapproaches are described. Similarities and differences of both teaching approaches are discussed. The author’sudexperienced in implementing this teaching technique provides some enlightening experience to be shared.
