  Developmental History
The Temasek Business School grew into the PBL methodology. From using a traditional time tested approach the school embarked on a thinking initiative movement. Beginning with the teaching of common thinking tools in the year 1-core subjects, it moved to teaching subject based thinking tools in year 2 and culminated in a Problem-Based Learning methodology in the year 3 curriculum.

The intent was to give learners as vast an expanse into thinking as possible. However, the school follows a diploma curriculum management approach and thus diplomas can choose to implement the PBL methodology much earlier in the cycle.

In this respect too different diplomas move at different paces where change readiness is concerned. There are diplomas that have gone PBL in year 2 such as Law and Management and Marketing. Then, there are diplomas that have partial PBL in year 2 and move to full PBL in year 3, like the Business Diploma. There are also diplomas that have pockets of subjects taught using the PBL methodology like BIT, HRM, TRM and CMM. Thus, the hybrid version of PBL is also a part of the Business School's reality into the PBL endeavour.

The Business school aims at diversity and dynamism in its curriculum management. Each diploma and subject team can try new methodologies in line with staff comfort levels in implementing this new approach.
