Thank you for all your contributions and I invite you to help us expand our current research that brings PBL as a knowledge building tool. Problem-based learning guides that the number of academics for a core discussion is 8 to 15 and because it is a methodology appropriate to the growth of scientific thinking our suggestion is that in the classrooms there are between 24 to 45 students. It seems like an excessive number, however I remember that the PBL will make the academic learn to make decision, where the construction of the thought is modulated by real, everyday experiences.
I have found that the use of structured essays allows me to use problem based learning in a larger class. This helps with on-line classes as well.
Certain fundamental knowledge of the field is essential before one takes up PBL.
PBL is an excellent tool for generating students background knowledge of a subject and also a great method of developing collaborative learning which is learner-directed rather than teacher directed
