In PBL students work together to solve a problem or answer a question. In doing this students develop "people skills" and learn to work together and compromise. The question being answered has to be centered on a significant issue, debate or question and relevant to the students experiences.

Students learn essential skills and content and have opportunities to apply them. Some of the learning should be inquiry based and requires critical thinking and colaboration. Students should have some choice in the development of the project. The project should include feedback and revision and there should be an authentic audience to bublicly present the product or performance. This higtens student motivation.
