Problem-based Learning in Real Estate Education

Abstract

Executive Summary. Problem-based learning is an educational technique that employs real world problems, scenarios and cases in order to enhance the problem solving and critical thinking skills of students. While used extensively in other disciplines, problem-based learning has not been widely incorporated into most real estate curriculums. In this article, we provide an overview of problem-based learning and offer a detailed framework that faculty can use as a guide in implementing problem-based learning into their own real estate courses.
