[pb_glossary id=\"132\"]Problem-based learning[\/pb_glossary] (PBL) is one of the innovative teaching and learning approaches that garnered attention on a global scale due to the numerous advantages it was said to have for students. PBL is student-centered learning and specifically targets understanding and solving clinical or real-life cases, introduced as an alternative to the conventional learning of physics. Above all, this method recognised to enhance students\u2019 problem-solving skills and closely correlates with their learning motivation and academic achievement.

In this method, students work together in virtual environments to explore authentic scenarios, analyze complex issues, and develop solutions. OPBL encourages critical thinking, self-directed learning, and the application of knowledge in practical contexts, fostering deeper understanding and problem-solving skills. This approach not only capitalizes on the flexibility of online learning but also promotes active engagement and the development of valuable skills for a range of disciplines and professions.<\/p>","rendered":"
