This article explores the application of problem-based learning (PBL) technologies in teaching chemistry. PBL is an innovative instructional strategy that emphasizes student-centered inquiry, critical thinking, and real-world problem-solving. The article discusses how integrating PBL into chemistry education enhances conceptual understanding, fosters engagement, and promotes lifelong learning skills. It also presents examples of PBL tasks and outlines the challenges and benefits associated with its implementation.
