Project-based learning
Definition:
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
