Abstract
Problem-based learning (PBL) had a fantastic start in medical schools across the country. However, as it is used more frequently in adult education settings the student, instructor, and organization leaders face a certain number of challenges with this approach. The purpose of this literature review is to investigate these specific challenges with PBL and to provide a few potential strategies that can assist with overcoming these issues. A critical review of 26 purposely-selected peer reviewed journal articles and 6 additional digital resources, most of which were published in the past 10 years, were selected for analysis. Given the increase in popularity of PBL, identifying the challenges students, instructors, and organization leaders face when implementing this pedagogical method warrants further investigation.
