99 C e n t r e f o r E d u c a t i o n a l D e v e l o p m e n t Unique RP-PBL Approach Problem-based Learning (PBL) forms the foundation for many of RP s teaching and learning approaches. In PBL, real-world problems are used to drive learning and engage students in collaboratively deepening their disciplinary knowledge and skills. In small classes of about 25 students, you will work in teams under the guidance of a facilitator to develop a solution to a given problem or issue. During this problem-solving process, you will develop your critical thinking skills and learn to work with others. Through this system, we aim to add value to your intellectual make-up in terms of problem-solving process skills, lifelong learning attitude, and ready-touse knowledge by offering the opportunity to develop intellectually in ways that suit you best. In RP, students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning and become more confident and competent problem-solvers and team players - skill sets which are of immense value in this knowledge-based economy. With RP s unique PBL pedagogy, I have been able to creatively come up with solutions to current problems and realise my potential.
