Description

Life has many problems, and theology offers a pathway to many solutions.   That is why Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a fantastic pedagogical proposal for theological educators. 

This course aims to enrich your teaching and learning toolkit with a simple methodology that will help you bless your students with learning that relates deeply to their experience.  

In addition to a brief theoretical section, this 10 hour online course will also guide you practically in designing and delivering a PBL lesson in theology and in collecting feedback that will help you reflect on your practice.
