| Summary: | Research shows that the introduction of problem based
learning (PBL) could foster student-centered learning,
enhances students' abilities in learning, change their
perception towards the subject matter and creates active
learners.Although this approach has been applied in other
disciplines, there is still lack of research focusing on the
adoption of PBL approach in the Mathematics curriculum
in countries such as Malaysia. Thus, this paper examines
and summarizes some of the research conducted in the
area of PBL in teaching and learning Mathematics
and its effectiveness from students' perspective. The
review shows PBL adoption in Mathematics is gaining
positive feedbacks from students even though there are
no convincing evidence to prove that PBL does in fact
increase students' performance. |
