Problem-Based Learning (PBL)
At Nakamura School, we believe in providing our students with a transformative educational experience that goes beyond traditional classroom learning. We embrace Problem-Based Learning (PBL) as a powerful pedagogical approach that equips our secondary school students with the skills and mindset they need to succeed in a dynamic and ever-changing world.
What is Problem-Based Learning?
Problem-Based Learning is an innovative teaching method that places students at the center of their learning journey. Rather than simply memorizing facts, our students actively engage in real-world challenges and authentic problems. These carefully designed problems require critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity to find viable solutions.
How Does PBL Work?
In our PBL classrooms, students become active learners and problem solvers. They are presented with thought-provoking scenarios and practical challenges that mirror the complexities of the real world. Working in teams, they delve into research, analyze data, and explore multiple perspectives, developing a deep understanding of the subject matter.
