Integrated Science and Health Education: Empowering Youth to promote their “well-being” through Problem-based Learning

Developing students’ understanding of prevalent health issues that may significantly impact their academic achievement and social development is crucial to empower them in addressing these challenges and promoting their well-being. The Problem-based Learning (PBL) approach serves as an effective pedagogy to this end. Drawing on socio-constructivist and self-regulation concepts, this paper focuses on the transformative potential of interdisciplinary PBL activities that can facilitate students’ learning and engagement with health issues in their science courses.
