Interdisciplinary problem-based learning - Fostering student competences and a sustainable future

Interdisciplinary problem-based learning (iPBL) is a student-centered pedagogy combining two different teaching methods: PBL and interdisciplinary learning. Working in interdisciplinary groups, students follow 8 steps to identify solutions to complex problems. Evaluation results indicate an enhancement in students’ knowledge processing, methodology competency, communication competency, and personal competency. Suitable types of tutoring are presented and evaluated.
