Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) is an instructional approach that engages learners in solving real-world problems by working on meaningful, collaborative challenges. Rooted in experiential and inquiry-based learning, CBL encourages students to identify a challenge, research and explore solutions, and apply their knowledge to create actionable outcomes.
The process typically includes three phases:
- Engage – Students connect with the topic and identify a relevant challenge.
- Investigate – They gather information, ask questions, and analyze the problem.
- Act – Learners implement their solutions and reflect on their impact.
CBL emphasizes critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and the application of interdisciplinary skills, making learning practical and engaging while fostering personal and societal impact.
