So according to our "big tent" model of PBL, some of the newer "X-BLs" -- problem-, challenge- and design-based -- are basically modern versions of the same concept.

At BIE, we see project-based learning as a broad category which, as long as there is an extended "project" at the heart of it, could take several forms or be a combination of: Designing and/or creating a tangible product, performance or event Solving a real-world problem (may be simulated or fully authentic) Investigating a topic or issue to develop an answer to an open-ended question
-
We decided to call problem-based learning a subset of project-based learning -- that is, one of the ways a teacher could frame a project is "to solve a problem."

problem-BL is still more often seen in the post-secondary world than in K-12, where project-BL is more common. Problem-based learning typically follow prescribed steps: Presentation of an "ill-structured" (open-ended, "messy") problem Problem definition or formulation (the problem statement) Generation of a "knowledge inventory" (a list of "what we know about the problem" and "what we need to know") Generation of possible solutions Formulation of learning issues for self-directed and coached learning Sharing of findings and solutions

By using problem-BL, these teachers feel they can design single-subject math projects -- aka "problems" -- that effectively teach more math content by being more limited in scope than many typical project-BL units.
