Hello everyone, this week's post was about project-based learning. We had to do some research about this topic (PBL) and we had to post it on our blog. There were several articles on the internet that talked about how to use this effective method in class, what was the advantages and disadvantages of using this method, etc.

What is PBL?

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.

Project Based Learning (PBL) prepares students for academic, personal, and career success, and readies young people to rise to the challenges of their lives and the world they will inherit.

In Project Based Learning, teachers make learning come alive for students. 

For example:

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.

Why PBL?

Because Project Based Learning engages students in learning that is deep and long-lasting, and inspires for them a love of learning and personal connection to their academic experience.

 

This is an effective method to use nowadays in class that we future teachers are going to teach. Another benefit for students is that they actively explore real-world problems and challenges and acquire a deeper knowledge, also help them to develop  skills such as collaboration, critical thinking, and problem solving.
