Özet

Today there is need for individuals who solve problems, who argue, question, change and take the lead and who use information instead of accumulating it. This need reveals the value of problem-based learning approach (PBL) which provides students to work in groups on a scenario prepared for the particular topic. Independent studies, aiming to determine PBL's impact on achievement when compared to traditional teaching, often focus on a particular type of application or operation.
