Inquiry-based learning has been getting a lot of attention lately for student engagement and developing 21st Century skills.  Rather than being filled with teacher lectures, students are doing the research and driving the instruction.  A lot of schools are adopting PBL to embrace this type of learning in the classroom. This acronym can mean Project-Based Learning or Problem-Based Learning, but regardless of how you define the acronym, the process is very similar.  Students are conducting research to help them solve a real-world problem by either sharing their learning with an audience or ending with a project that highlights their learning.

With "Engaging students in a PBL Classroom", I understand to give learners Projects/Courses that   allow them to fully participate in the projects by making research, collaboration and solve the crucial problems that they encounter in this world. thus, with PBL you equip learners by critical thinking skills, health skills, life skills, awareness of environmental skills, social skills etc that will help them to cope with the world's life.

This is a kind of teaching that allows students to meet experts from various field of studies. it enables learners to learn what they want to learn and what satisfy their needs. they are given freedom to learn in a free environment that allows them to recognize the special skills to accomplish a certain burning issue and discover what is really needed to solve a given situation.

so students, must be equipped with those lessons that open their minds in all areas of life.
