PBL Vs. Traditional teaching has always been a hot topic for teachers when deciding what teaching style they want to utilize. This website breaks down PBL style vs. Traditional style and even gives a great insight into a blended method which is more common than some think.
This is a WONDERFUL packet on how to be a successful facilitator when conducting a problem-based learning group. It explains the proper ways to plan, implement and evaluate during group sessions.
