Project-based learning

Definition:

Project-based learning or PBL, is a learner-

centered method of learning. It uses problems

or projects to help learners to rise from the low

levels of learning to the high standard of learning

which include analysis, synthesis and evaluation.

It uses projects to facilitate learning and assess

students' competence. It is a kind of independent

learning. Students use technology and inquiry to

respond to a complex issue, problem or

challenge. It is not a teacher-based learning

method. (PBL) focuses on student-centered

inquiry and group learning.

Project-based learning (PBL) or project-based

instruction is an instructional approach designed

to give students the opportunity to develop

knowledge and skills through engaging projects

set around challenges and problems they may

face in the real world.

The teacher plays the role of a facilitator,

adviser and checker. Projects vary in length,

from several days to several weeks or even a

semester. PBL can be effective at all grade

levels and subjects, and in career/technical

education, after school and alternative programs.

Project-based learning method (PBL) emphasizes

long term learning objectives. This approach is less

structured than traditional, teacher-led classroom

activities. In a project-based class, students often

must organize their own work and manage their

own time.

Within the project-based learning framework,

students collaborate working together to make

a sense of what is going on.

Project Based Learning is a teaching method in

which students gain knowledge and skills by

working for an extended period of time to investigate

and respond to an authentic, engaging and complex

question, problem, or challenge.

learning come alive for students.

Students work on a project over an extended period of

time – from a week up to a semester – that engages

them in solving a real-world problem or answering a

complex question.They demonstrate their knowledge

and skills by developing a public product or

presentation for a real audience

As a result, students develop deep content knowledge

as well as critical thinking, creativity, and

communication skills in the context of doing an

authentic, meaningful project. Project Based Learning

unleashes a contagious, creative energy among

students and teachers.

Project-based learning can help students apply

collaboration and creativity skills, problem solve,

and develop a more in-depth understanding of content.

It can also foster civic engagement and decision-

making while empowering youth to effect change in

their communities

The Project

Project work provides a context in which the

teacher can encourage learners to apply their

growing academic skills in purposeful ways.

The teacher has an important part to play in

the initiation, implementation, and culmination of

projects

Characteristics of Project Based

Learning

1.) Interdisciplinary

Project based curriculum is designed to engage

students using real-world problems.

This is an interdisciplinary approach because real-

world challenges are rarely solved using information

or skills from a single subject area. Projects require

students to engage in inquiry, solution building, and

product construction to help address the issue or

challenge presented.

As students do the work, they often use content

knowledge and skills from multiple academic domains

to successfully complete the project.

2.) Rigorous

Project based education requires the application of

knowledge and skills, not just recall or recognition.

Unlike rote learning to assess a single fact,

PBL assesses how students apply a variety of

academic content in new contexts.

As students engage in a project, they begin with

asking a question. Inquiry leads the student to think

critically as they are using their academic knowledge

in real-world applications.

The inquiry process leads to the development of

solutions to address the identified problem.

They show their knowledge in action through the

creation of products designed to communicate

solutions to an audience.

3.) Student-centered

In PBL, the role of the teacher shifts from content-

deliverer to facilitator/project manager.

Students work more independently through the

PBL process, with the teacher providing support only

when needed. Students are encouraged to make their

own decisions about how best to do their work and

demonstrate their understanding.

The PBL process fosters student independence,

ownership of his/her work, and the development

of 21st century/workplace skills.

The Benefits:

Proponents of project-based learning cite numerous

benefits to the implementation of its strategies in the

classroom – including a greater depth of understanding

of concepts, broader knowledge base, improved

communication and interpersonal/social skills, enhanced

Leadership skills, increased creativity and improved

writing skills.

Another definition of project-based learning includes

a type of instruction, where students work together to

solve real-world problems in their schools and communities.

Successful problem-solving often requires students to

draw on lessons from several disciplines and apply

them in a very practical way. The promise of seeing a

very real impact becomes the motivation for learning.

Examples:

1-Learners' Projects on the standard of their

classroom

Examples:

Learners do written tasks, written exercises, Wall

charts, wall magazines, classroom rules chart,

doing researches and tasks. Learners use

technology, reports, debates, draw a giant map

on floor of classroom, do class discussions

conducted by a student committee.

Learners do reading assignments in journals,

monographs and in supplementary books.

Learners do cartoon and metal teaching aids,

Diaries, Jigsaw puzzle maps.

Learners do drama, role playing, culture

exchange, laboratory experiments and flannel

boards.

Student construct diagrams, charts, or graphs

and applying simple statistical techniques to

class data.

Learners do Problem solving or case studies on

the classroom.

2-Learners' Projects on the standard of their

school

Examples

Learners do wall magazines, questionnaires,

school broadcast, reports, news bulletin board

and prepare mock newspaper on specific topics

or era. Learners construct English club, blogs,

electronic sites, free reading and the library

researches.

Learners do debates, interviews, presentations,

school garden programs, school theater and

exhibitions.

They Invite senior citizen(s) to present local

history to class including displaying artifacts

(clothing, tools, objects, etc.), athletic festivals

and concerts.

They use radio and TV programs. They do

service projects, exchange program with schools

from different parts of the country, statistics,

surveys, contests and quiz.

For example, a student interested in farming

may explore the creation of a school garden that

produces food and doubles as a learning

opportunity for students, while another student

may choose to research health concerns related

to specific food items served in the cafeteria, and

then create posters or a video to raise awareness

among students and staff in the school !

3-Learners' Projects on the standard of their society

Examples:

Learners go on school journeys and share in social

media, They do school forums, making

announcements, take part in (community elections),

Visit an employment agency, research local

archaeological site, collect money for a cause, join an

organization, start a campaign, do volunteer (tutoring,

hospital), stamp out illiteracy and fight pollution.

4-Learners' Projects on the standard of the community

Examples:

Learners can participate with the press, international

forums or social media programs to give a hand in

solving problems that include:

Education reform, creating programs for illiterate to

lean and idle people to work, follow a world leader

(in the media), assist an immigrant, investigate a life

program and receive students from abroad

(exchange students) programs..

Learners' roles:

PBL relies on learning groups. Students groups

determine their projects. In doing so, they engage

student's voice by encouraging students to take full

responsibility for their learning. This is what makes

PBL constructivist. Students work together to

accomplish specific goals.

When students use technology as a tool to

communicate with others, they take on an active role

vs passive role of transmitting the information by a

teacher, book, or a broadcast.

The student is constantly making choices on how to

obtain, display or manipulate information. Technology

makes it possible for students to think actively about

the choices they make and execute. Every student

has the opportunity to get involved, either individually

or as a group.

Requirements:

It needs critical thinking,problem solving, collaboration,

communication.

It requires inquiry and creating something new.

It is organized around an open-ended Driving

Question.

It allows some degree of student voice and choice.

It includes processes for revision and reflection.

It involves a public audience.
