Cooperative learning is the process of breaking a classroom of students into small groups so they can discover a new concept together and help each other learn.
Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching method in which complex real-world problems are used as the vehicle to promote student learning of concepts and principles as opposed to direct presentation of facts and concepts.
It is worth noting that this approach differs from Case Based learning in the scope and degree of student participation.
Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a highly structured form of small-group learning that emphasizes student preparation out of class and application of knowledge in class. The groups of students remain the same throughout the entire course and the way in which students engage with the material is managed through a series of tests: first the Individual Readiness Assurance Test (iRAT) and then the Group Readiness Assurance Test (gRAT).
