This article analyzes Problem-Based Learning (PBL) as an innovative approach to developing skills for the 21st century. PBL, by breaking away from the traditional teaching model, places the student at the center of the learning process, stimulating autonomy, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. The study discusses the definition, characteristics, and history of PBL, highlighting its relevance in the current context of rapid technological and social transformations. In addition, the article explores the skills of the 21st century, classifying them as cognitive, socio-emotional, and technological, and emphasizing their importance for academic and professional success and for the exercise of citizenship. The relationship between PBL and the development of these skills is analyzed based on studies and evidence, demonstrating the potential of PBL to prepare students for the challenges of the future.
