Symposium Theme: PBL and the Future of Skills

As the theme suggests, we contend that PBL provides a solutions-focused approach to learning which promotes inquiry, sense-making, and collaboration – these are critical attributes needed for the further development of skills in existing and emerging industries. In addition, it nurtures resourcefulness and communication capabilities.

The 5th IPBLS2017 brings together a community of professionals comprising teachers, academics, trainers, practitioners and industry partners to deliberate on ideas and contributions in exploring PBL as a pedagogical leverage, together with technological advancements, to produce a skilful, responsive and adaptable workforce in an increasingly fast-changing and complex work environment in the 21st century.
