PERSPECTIVE AND LIMITS OF THE APPLICATION OF PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING IN TEACHING CONTEMPORARY ROMANIAN LANGUAGE IN HIGHER EDUCATION: A CASE STUDY

Summary/Abstract: A learning method that respects the principles of student-centered learning and has proven its effectiveness in higher education, PBL is based on the principle of using real-world problems as a starting point for the acquisition and integration of new knowledge. By combining collaborative learning activities with individual study, it stimulates long-term retention and develops important skills such as collaboration, creativity, critical thinking and self-regulation. Starting from the main characteristics of PBL, the current paper will attempt to investigate to what extent adopting the principles and teaching strategies of the problem-based approach can help to mitigate some of the undesirable effects of the transition from one cycle of studies to another. First-year students are sometimes reluctant to engage in dialogue with fellow students or teachers, or to express and defend their point of view on a current topic. They can also struggle with scientific texts and have difficulty connecting their prior knowledge with new content and managing their own learning. To this end, the current paper presents the main stages and results of applying problem-based learning to the teaching of the contemporary Romanian language to a target group of 30 first-year students from the Faculty of Letters of the West University of Timisoara.
