PBL allows for a greater understanding of the relationship between contents. It takes isolated skills and combines them for a well-rounded knowledge base that incorporates all relevant disciplines.
"Problem-based learning should not occur within a single discipline or subject. Information should be integrated from all the disciplines that are core to the schools educational program and relevant to the problems presented... students should be able to access, study and integrate information from all the disciplines that might be related to understanding and resolving the particular problem they are working with-- just as people in the real world must recall and apply information integrated from diverse sources in their work. This allows the problem to be the organizing focus for student learning better ensuring the recall and application of that information from various relevant fields in their subsequent work with problems in their life and careers " (http://www.pbli.org/pbl/generic_pbl.htm)
