What is project-based learning?

Project-based learning is a teaching method in which students learn by actively engaging in real-world and personally meaningful projects. Instead of traditional lecture-based instruction, PBL focuses on student-led investigations, problem-solving, and critical thinking. It’s designed to allow students to explore topics in-depth and develop real-world skills such as collaboration, communication, and digital literacy.

For students who learn more by doing, project-based learning can offer numerous benefits, including:

Higher engagement

By involving students in projects they care about, PBL increases engagement and motivation.

Real-world skills

PBL prepares students for the real world by developing practical skills that are highly valued in the workplace.

Deeper understanding

Students tend to achieve a deeper understand of the subject matter through hands-on exploration and problem solving.
