The Impact Of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) On The Development Of Critical Thinking In Language And Literature.

Abstract

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is an educational methodology that fosters the development of critical thinking and reasoning in students, being particularly effective in the teaching of language and literature. This paper analyzes the relationship between PBL and the development of critical literary thinking in elementary school students. The benefits of PBL, such as improved academic performance and student motivation, as well as the challenges in its implementation, such as teacher training and assessment, are explored. In addition, pedagogical theories that support PBL are examined, including constructivism and collaborative learning. It is concluded that PBL, despite its challenges, is a valuable tool for transforming language and literature teaching, promoting essential skills for solving complex real-life problems.
