Reflection on PBL

PBL is the problem based learning where the students are given scenario or problems and they need to solve it using FILA chart. The FILA chart consist of facts, ideas, learning issues and actions. We were given task on PBL with the situation as this;

ICT applications have become an important part of teaching and learning. Ministry of Education has invested huge effect in terms of funding and training to equip teachers and students with ICT skills. In your opinion, what are the issues and challenges in integrating ICT in teaching and learning in our Malaysian Schools?

For me, doing PBL is not a strange thing for me because I’ve been introduced about PBL previously during my semester 1 by other lecturer. Then, after that, the lecturers for my minor keep giving us situation by using PBL scenario, so, I always do it but with different situation.

For this course, I think the PBL scenario is a bit different where we need to find the content that is more on people’s reaction while before this, we only need to find the content that is more factual. However, doing the PBL for this course has made me know more about the scenario given.

In finding the learning issues for this scenario, it is not that hard because the points are accessible on the net. Other than that, I did some discussion with my friends about this scenario and we are able to come out with few actions that can be taken in responses to this scenario.

For me, doing PBL in classes is beneficial because it can produce many ideas and solutions related to the scenario. Yet, sometimes, it need extra time in order to finish doing the assigned job because it require some time to finish the task.
