project based learning

Project-based learning (PBL) is a teaching approach that involves students in the completion of a project that requires them to apply their knowledge and skills to solve a real-world problem or complete a task. PBL is a student-centered approach that emphasizes the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, communication, and creativity skills.

In PBL, students work on a project or task over an extended period, typically several weeks or even months. They work in teams or individually, and their work is guided by a teacher who acts as a facilitator and mentor. The project or task may be related to a subject or topic that students are studying, or it may be an interdisciplinary project that requires them to draw on knowledge and skills from multiple subjects.

PBL has many benefits for students, including increased engagement in learning, development of essential skills, and deeper understanding of content. PBL also helps students develop important habits of mind, such as persistence, curiosity, and self-directed learning.
