Problem based learning is one way that teachers can fully engage their students in
authentic learning. The most important component of 21 st century learning is that
students investigate rich and challenging topics and issues in the context of real-world
problems. The goal for instructors is to develop students’ interest in the subject matter by
focusing on the learning process, as opposed to recalling facts. Teachers are responsible
for creating well-designed real-life scenarios, activities or projects that promote
communication, meta-cognitive skills and rigor (Cohen, 1994). Unless there is a
relevance and application of the learning, students would merely be absorbing
information, not truly learning. Knowledge requires the application of information,
student engagement, exchange of ideas, students building on each other’s ideas and apply
this new learning in meaningful ways (Reynard, 2008). Combining personal experience,
information and knowledge transforms the learning process.
