The Spring 2026 issue (Volume 20, Issue 1) of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-Based Learning highlights the continued influence and global impact of problem-based (PBL) and project-based learning (PjBL) across diverse educational contexts. Articles published examine how these learner-centered approaches support students’ problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration, and real-world experiences, while also identifying challenges related to implementation, teacher preparation, and contextual adaptation. The issue also honors the legacy of John R. Savery, whose scholarship and leadership played a foundational role in advancing PBL and shaping the field.
