tion as individuals focusing on general concepts, thinking and discipline, aims at
facilitating learning within small groups considering that learner-centered learning
is significant. However, this approach should not be expected to be appropriate
for every subject and every lesson because the subjects of projects may not be
interesting for students, they may not be appropriate to the objectives of lessons,
or some students may not be good at group work. Besides, we should never forget
that the teachers who implement the PBL approach should work in cooperation.
We can indicate individuals that contemporary education systems aim at only with
the use of studies carried out considering all the variables stated above (those who
are willing to do research, can solve problems, have critical thinking skills and can
work in groups, etc.)
