This means focusing on higher-order think-ing and skills that will help students succeed in college, their future careers, and their lives as active members of their communities. The alignment of PBL and deeper learning is supported by a growing body of evidence that PBL has a significant positive impact on student learning and other outcomes of deeper learning (Duke et al., 2021; Deutscher et al., 2021; Krajcik et al., 2021; Saavedra et al., 2021).
