WHAT IS PROJECT-BASED LEARNING?

In the online resource for Project Based Learning we find that PBL is considered as an instructional approach which takes in consideration authentic learning activities in order to engage student’s interest and motivation.
Students from the 21st century need to learn how to develop skills as communication, presentation, organization, time management, research, inquir, self-assessment, reflection , group participation and leadership skills. These students have to express their ideas by designing products and tasks in groups toward a common goal.
Combining these considerations, they define Project Based Learning as:


a systematic teaching method that engages students in learning essential knowledge and life-enhancing skills through an extended, student-influenced inquiry process structured around complex, authentic questions and carefully designed products and tasks.
