What is project based learning?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Project based learning (PBL) is a method of teaching in which a teacher or school assigns a project to the students to address a complex situation or solve real-life problem through active engagement. <\/span><\/p>\n

This method of teaching-learning requires students to exhibit their learning experience and skills through a presentation or creating a product for a real-life audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The step-by-step process of project based learning helps students get command over the content of a specialized topic by enhancing core learning skills, e.g. critical thinking and problem-solving, interpersonal skills, communication, creativity, collaboration, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the benefits of project based learning?\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Project based learning has several critical merits for students such as:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Inculcation of 21st-century learning skills<\/h3>\n

Project based learning helps inculcate 21st-century learning skills among students who are part of a learning project.\u00a0 For example, students group themselves as active members of one team. They explore, brainstorm, research, evaluate and create a final product for a real-life audience. They are encouraged to wear a critical lens and question traditional pattern of thinking or looking at things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Active learning\/ learning by doing<\/h3>\n

Project based learning engages students in active learning. They do not have anything to just read and accept it. On the contrary, they brainstorm a given topic. The step-by-step engages students in real-life problem solving, case studies, role plays, etc. Students take responsibility for their learning. They engage in such activities that stimulate deep learning rather than surface learning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Engagement in real-life situation<\/h3>\n

In projects assigned to students, they involve themselves in finding a solution to a real-life problem. The assessment of students is not based on only theoretical knowledge. It rather assesses such aspects which exhibit the meaningful involvement of students by practically engaging in a real-life situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Vocab enrichment<\/h3>\n

Students are encouraged to brainstorm, explore, review literature, and get exposed to content knowledge in a variety of forms, e.g. audio, video, print, etc. They are also encouraged to exchange their learning and ideas with each other thus resulting in co-construction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Self and peer assessment<\/h3>\n

Not all methods of teaching involve self and peer assessment. However, project based learning has this important component of assessment for a student to judge themselves and their colleagues on competencies across learning domains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Inter-disciplinary approach<\/h2>\n

Project based learning is characterized by an interdisciplinary approach. The developers of the project highlight and make such arrangements that engage students to discover and develop an interdisciplinary understanding.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
