problem-based

Driven by challenges

Problem-based describes an approach to learning or work that centers on solving real problems rather than absorbing information passively.

In problem-based learning, students tackle authentic challenges and acquire knowledge as needed to address them, rather than studying subjects in isolation before applying them.

The method emphasizes critical thinking and practical skills over rote memorization.
