Abstract :
This paper discusses PBL for first year software education, paying attention to aspects of holistic learning, and also proposes a new PLB course based on the discussion. The PBL course was given to high school students to confirm fundamental validity. The questionnaire method suggested that PBL might be fundamentally useful to learn holistically.
