Problem based learning, borrowed from medical education, requires students to take a more active role in their learning. It provides students with a deliberately 'ill-structured' problem. This article examines the applicability of problem-based learning to social work education. It outlines the key components of problem based learning and evaluates a model of practice based learning implemented on two graduate level social work courses in the USA. Students agreed that the PDB model helped them in their learning about educational disabilities and cultural diversity, and agreed it was a stimulating approach to learning about children and families.
