The integration of assorted subject areas and skills in PBL enables students to see the connectedness of ideas within the various curriculum areas (Bender, 2012, p. 23).

Through hands-on and meaningful experiences, students foster curiosity and are challenged to inquire through observation, questioning and analysing (Barell, 2008). This facilitates the development of problem solving, reflection and critical thinking skills (Murdoch, 1998).]]> 2017-12-03 07:37:44 UTC https://padlet.com/7581173/v1wx0po4r7rb/wish/212567015 7581173 https://padlet.com/7581173/v1wx0po4r7rb/wish/212567031 Linking subjects and competencies to a real-world context can facilitate authentic learning.
