The Comparison between PBL and Situational Simulation Teaching Method

In current China, although Problem-based Learning (PBL) and Situational Simulation Teaching Methods are shown to be useful for teaching, there are few classes combining them together. This article compared these two teaching methods first and then explored how to integrate them together. The main findings of this paper were: 1) the application of PBL and situational approach respectively; 2) comparing the similarities and differences between PBL and situational approach; 3) the combined application of the two teaching modes. The above points show that both teaching modes can improve students motivations to learn. Both of them increase students communication ability in group discussion and simulation, and also broaden students knowledge to master the knowledge. And the combined application of the two can maximize these benefits.
