Abstract
An underpinning tenet of problem-based learning (PBL) is that solving ill-structured, real-world and authentic problems motivates students to engage in the learning process, leading to deeper and meaningful learning. Hence, designing problems is crucial to successfully implementing PBL. This chapter introduces readers to theories and empirical studies on designing PBL problems and provides a practical approach to designing real-world problems. Readers can also look at how they can evaluate the effectiveness of problems. Overall, this chapter will help the readers design and evaluate real-world problems for PBL.
