It is increasingly important for today’s learners to become sophisticated consumers of information, which involves developing expertise in the process of problem solving. Nonaka and Takeuchi (1995) state that there is a need for a more flexible labor force to meet the growing amount of knowledge-intensive work. However, when compared to traditional ways of teaching, a problem solving approach requires the use of radically different cognitive goals such as identifying information needs, finding corresponding information resources, and extracting information from each source (Land & Greene, 2000). The achievement of these goals necessitates the provision of powerful learning environments that support constructive, cooperative and goal-oriented acquisition processes. Problem-based learning (PBL) is a learner-centered instructional approach that empowers learners to think critically; analyze and solve complex, real life problems; find, evaluate and use appropriate learning resources; work collaboratively; demonstrate effective communication skills; and become lifelong learners (Duch, Groh, & Allen, 2001). It provides a format for sharing information and working productively with the others (Savery, 2006).
