A PBL group at Sydney Dental Hospital Problem-based learning (PBL) is a teaching method in which students aim to learn about a subject through the experience of solving an open-ended problem found in trigger material. The PBL process does not focus on problem solving with a defined solution, but is designed for the development of other skills and attributes. This includes knowledge acquisition, enhanced group collaboration and communication.

The PBL process was developed for medical education and has since been used for other programs of learning. The process aims to allow for learners to develop skills used for their future practice.
