- Abstract
Problem-based learning is a mode has been invented and developed gradually in the late 1960s. This model has been introduced into the teaching systems of many Western countries. The Chinese government has also promoted the growth of the overall quality of students and the abandoning of the cramming teaching method in recent years. As a teaching method that requires in-depth learning and self-directed learning, PBL has also received much attention in China. This paper aims to explore the benefits of PBL, the role of teachers in PBL, and the challenges that PBL imposes on Chinese high school teachers. The main findings of this paper were: (1) PBL is not only effective in knowledge acquisition but also in competence enhancement; (2) instructors should act as content experts, facilitators, evaluators, and supervisors in terms of students’ competence in the PBL tutorial process; (3) challenges for instructors to have PBL in their classes resides in problem construction, the conflict with reality, and overcoming the traditional idea of teachers. These Findings of this paper can encourage educators to use international schools or departments as pilot sites for PBL and investigate the viability of implementing PBL on a wider scale.
