Abstract
Paper will present the use of the PBL active learning method in the teaching of Differential equations from bachelor to engineering study programmes at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. PBL is an educational approach that focuses on using real-world problems to support student learning. Therefore, we want to emphasize its importance in teaching Mathematics – why we need it, in which mathematical subjects we can use it, how to incorporate PBL into mathematics teaching, where we can find it, what can students use to solve PBL, and how we want to proceed with PBL further.
The paper is concluded with a demonstration of one PBL used in two mathematics subjects at the bachelor´s degree in the subject Applied Mathematics at the master´s degree of study.
Keywords
